How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Linden, NJ?

In Linden and throughout New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of a car accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Insurance claims have separate reporting requirements, so you should notify your insurer promptly.

In certain situations, the filing deadline may change, including cases involving minors. If a public entity may be responsible, you generally must file a notice of claim within 90 days, although exceptions may apply.

Depending on your injuries and other losses, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. However, New Jersey’s lawsuit threshold may limit certain claims based on your insurance coverage and injuries.

To support your claim, keep copies of the crash report, photographs, available video footage, medical records, and bills. These materials can help establish responsibility, document your injuries, and show how the collision has affected your finances.

While you receive medical treatment, the lawsuit deadline generally continues to run. Negotiating with an insurance company also usually does not extend that deadline, so you may need to file a lawsuit before your treatment ends.

If you miss the filing deadline, the court may dismiss your lawsuit, even if you have a valid injury claim. Some exceptions may allow additional time, but whether they apply depends on your circumstances.

If you are unsure which deadline applies, a Linden car accident lawyer can review your case and explain the filing requirements. An attorney can also prepare the necessary paperwork and help ensure your lawsuit is filed on time.
