Linden, NJ (August 20, 2026) – One person was injured in a two-vehicle wreck near Monmouth Avenue and Chandler Avenue in Linden on Wednesday, August 19. The collision occurred at about 5:48 p.m.
Emergency units arrived shortly afterward and assisted those involved. One person experienced head pain following the crash.
Local authorities continue investigating what led to the collision.
We hope the injured person receives the care needed for a full recovery.
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 policies may set earlier deadlines for providing notice or requesting certain benefits.
Once the filing period begins, medical treatment, vehicle repairs, and insurance discussions do not necessarily give you additional time. Waiting for your injuries to improve could leave you with less time to pursue compensation.
As your claim moves forward, remember that opening an insurance claim does not pause the two-year deadline. You should track the filing date separately, even if the insurer is still reviewing your claim or discussing a possible settlement.
If a public vehicle, government employee, or dangerous public roadway contributed to the crash, you may need to submit a formal notice within 90 days. Missing this shorter deadline could prevent you from pursuing a claim against the public entity.
When the injured person is a child or an injury could not reasonably have been discovered immediately, different timing rules may apply. Because exceptions depend on the circumstances, you should not assume the regular deadline has been extended.
After receiving medical care, keep your treatment records, bills, wage statements, repair estimates, photographs, and insurance correspondence together. This evidence can document your losses and help prevent delays if filing a lawsuit becomes necessary.
As the deadline approaches, a lawyer can identify the time limits that apply, communicate with insurers, and prepare the required filings. An attorney can also help complete the necessary paperwork and keep your claim moving forward.
