A claim of exposure can be considered a tort suit if it involves a plaintiff alleging harm due to another party's negligent or intentional actions that led to exposure to harmful substances or conditions. In such cases, the plaintiff may seek damages for injuries or losses caused by that exposure. Common examples include cases related to toxic torts, where individuals claim harm from exposure to chemicals or pollutants. Thus, while not all claims of exposure are tort suits, many are categorized as such when they meet the legal criteria for tortious conduct.

Can you combine a contract claim and tort in the same suit?
Yes, a contract claim and a tort claim can be combined in the same suit, provided that they arise from the same set of facts or circumstances. This is often seen in cases where a party's breach of contract also involves negligent or wrongful conduct that causes harm. However, the legal standards and remedies for each claim are distinct, so they will be evaluated separately by the court. It's important to ensure that the claims are appropriately pleaded and supported by relevant evidence.

How do you sue the state of New Jersey?
If you are suing the State for damages from an alleged tort, you must first file a Tort Claim Notice within 90 days of the accrual of the claim. The 90 period may be extended for special circumstances. You may not file the lawsuit until six months after the State has received the notice of claim. The State will use that time to investigate matters and try to arrive at an administrative disposition rather than going into court immediately. If there is no agreement after the six months, then you can file suit in the Superior Court of New Jersey. If you are suing on a contract claim, you must also file a notice of claim within 90 days of accrual of the action. In a contract claim, if there is no administrative settlement, you can sue the state after 90 of filing the written notice of claim (as opposed to the 6 month period for a tort claim).
Can you sue a school?
Most states require that you first file a "tort claim" which notifies the school district of your intent to sue. Then, after filing the tort claim, you must wait sixty days, and if you and the district cannot come to a settlement of your claim, you may file a lawsuit. I strongly recommend consulting with a personal injury attorney before filing a tort claim or lawsuit against a school district. Most personal injury attorneys will give you a free consultation.
