Linden, NJ (September 24, 2026) – A 34-year-old person was injured in a crash involving a motorcycle and a Jeep on St. Marks Street in Linden on Thursday, September 24. The wreck was reported at about 6:05 p.m.
Emergency units responded to assist the injured person.
Local authorities are working to determine what led to the collision.
We hope the injured person receives the care they need to make a full recovery.
In New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of a motorcycle accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing that deadline can prevent you from seeking compensation through the courts, so knowing the filing date that applies to your claim matters.
In some cases, different rules may affect how much time you have. Claims involving a government vehicle or public agency may require earlier notice, while other circumstances can change how the filing period is calculated.
At the same time, the court deadline is separate from insurance notice requirements. Your motorcycle policy or another applicable policy may require you to report the crash or make a claim sooner, so checking those terms early can help prevent disputes.
Because motorcycle coverage differs from standard passenger-car coverage, insurance questions may arise before a lawsuit is filed. The policies covering the rider, the Jeep driver, and any other involved party may need to be examined to determine which insurer may be responsible for payment.
When fault is disputed, photographs, vehicle damage, roadway marks, video, driver statements, medical records, and the police report can help show how the collision happened and whether either person shared responsibility.
Before accepting an early settlement offer, consider whether your treatment and losses are fully known. An offer made too soon may not account for later medical costs, missed work, motorcycle repairs, or other expenses that become clearer during recovery.
When an insurer disputes fault or pressures you to settle quickly, a motorcycle accident lawyer can check the filing deadline, examine the available coverage, and compare an offer with your documented losses. An attorney can also explain the steps that must be completed before the deadline passes.
