In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim after a truck accident is generally two years from the date of the accident. This means that you must file a lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident or you may be barred from recovering damages.
It’s important to note that there are exceptions to this general rule, such as if the accident involved a government entity or if the injured person is a minor. In these cases, there may be different deadlines and procedures that apply.
It’s important to contact an experienced truck accident attorney as soon as possible after the accident to ensure that your legal rights are protected and that your case is handled properly. An attorney can help you understand the statute of limitations and ensure that your case is filed within the appropriate timeframe. Waiting too long to file a claim can make it difficult to gather evidence and may weaken your case, so it’s important to take action as soon as possible.
