People injured in a two-car crash in Scotch Plains, NJ, generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit under New Jersey Statutes Annotated § 2A:14-2. The law generally requires an action for an injury caused by another person’s wrongful act, neglect, or default to be commenced within two years after the cause of action accrues.
This deadline can apply to claims involving medical expenses, lost income, vehicle damage, pain and suffering, and other losses connected to a car accident. Waiting beyond the applicable deadline can prevent an injured person from pursuing a lawsuit, although certain circumstances may alter when the limitation period applies. New Jersey Courts advises that various factors can affect the applicable statute of limitations.
After a Scotch Plains car accident, injured people should preserve crash reports, medical records, photographs, insurance information, witness statements, vehicle repair records, and available video footage. These records may help establish how the two-vehicle collision occurred and document the losses connected to the accident.
Understanding New Jersey’s personal injury statute of limitations early can help ensure that a potential car accident claim is evaluated before the applicable deadline expires.
An attorney may examine the available evidence and explain whether a potential claim could include medical expenses, lost income, vehicle repairs, or other documented losses. Legal guidance can also help with communications and requests from insurance companies as the process continues.
