What is the Statute of Limitations For Car Accidents in New Jersey?
New Jersey’s statute of limitations for car accidents is two years. This means that in most instances, a survivor/plaintiff must file a lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. There are a few exceptions to this statute, depending on the circumstances of the accident and the timing involved, your attorney can explain them to you.
While it may seem that two years is a lot of time to file a claim, the sooner you file, the better it is for your case. Your attorney needs to collect the evidence, all relevant documents, police reports, medical information and all other accident-related expenses to build a case for compensation.
