Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury lawsuit in New Jersey?
Two years. You generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in New Jersey, as per N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2. Missing this deadline will almost certainly bar your claim.
How does New Jersey’s comparative negligence law affect my case?
It can reduce or eliminate your recovery. Under N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found 50% or more at fault, you are barred from recovering any damages.
What is mandatory arbitration in Hudson County personal injury cases?
It’s a required step for smaller claims. Cases where the claimed damages are under $20,000 go through a non-binding arbitration program in Hudson County Superior Court. An attorney panel hears the case and issues an award, which can influence settlement talks.
What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury case?
You can seek economic and non-economic damages. This includes past and future medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium. New Jersey does not have caps on damages for most personal injury claims.
Should I give a recorded statement to the insurance adjuster?
No. It is advisable to consult with an attorney first. Insurance adjusters may use your statement to find reasons to reduce or deny your claim. An attorney can guide you on what to communicate.
