How long you have to file a lawsuit depends on the type of case involved. In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit typically varies depending on the nature of the injury and the circumstances surrounding the case. However, in most cases, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. This means that you generally have two years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries.
It’s essential to be aware of this deadline because if you fail to file your lawsuit within the specified time frame, you may lose your right to seek compensation for your injuries through the court system.
