FAQ: How much time do I have to file a personal injury claim in New Jersey?

Every state has its own statutes of limitations for filing different types of claims in the civil courts. These statutes limit the time an individual has to legally file a claim and they are very important deadlines. In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is two years from the time the accident occurred. If an injured victim fails to file a personal injury claim before the two year window runs out, the courts will refuse to hear their case. Furthermore, any opportunity to recover damages for the injuries they sustained will have been lost. The statute of limitations may be extended under certain circumstances so it is best to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer regarding your accident claim.

FAQ: Can I receive compensation for any type of injury in a New Jersey personal injury case?

Accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from the minor to the severe. Personal injury law provides protection for any type of injury that results in an expense or has a negative impact on your life. More serious injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, loss of limbs, and spinal cord injuries, result in higher compensation awards due to the substantial impact these injuries have on one’s life. Injuries that require ongoing medical treatments or numerous surgeries also result in higher awards. You may also receive compensation for pain and suffering and loss of quality of life; because these are immeasurable, these losses will be estimated.
