How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in New Jersey? 

According to the New Jersey Statutes section 2A:14-2, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in the state of New Jersey is two years. The statute of limitations is a law which limits how long injury victims have to file a personal injury claim. 

More specifically, this means you have two years from the date your injury occurred to file your claim, or you will lose your right to file and your right to recover compensation no matter how severe your injuries are. It’s important to note that there are exceptions that can change this time limit. The most notable exceptions include:

• If the injury victim was a minor at the time of the accident. In these circumstances, the two-year time period will begin once the claimant turns 18. 
• If the injury victim has a condition that qualifies them as mentally incapacitated. Similar to the cases with a minor, the statute of limitations will end two years from the date they are declared mentally capable again. 
• If the alleged negligent party leave the state of New Jersey before the lawsuit can be filed. An attorney will most likely file for a specific extension as outlined in New Jersey Statutes section 2A:14-22.

The statute of limitations has a big impact on your ability to file a claim so it’s important to speak to a skilled attorney about the specifics of your case as soon as you can. Rosner Law Offices offers free, no-obligation consultations so you have nothing to lose by contacting our firm today!
