In New Jersey, a person generally has two years to file a personal injury lawsuit after a crash. N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2 provides that an action for an injury caused by the wrongful act, neglect, or default of another must be commenced within two years after the cause of action accrues.
For someone injured in Hackensack, this deadline can apply to claims involving medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses connected to a motor vehicle crash. Evidence such as medical records, photographs, witness statements, vehicle damage, and available video can help establish what happened and the losses resulting from the injuries.
New Jersey courts note that various factors can alter the applicable limitations period, depending on the type of claim and circumstances involved.
Because missing the applicable deadline can affect the ability to pursue a lawsuit, the specific facts should be reviewed as soon as possible. Different rules may apply to certain claims, including those involving minors, government entities, or other circumstances.
