In addition to the statute of limitations, when you have a motor vehicle accident claim against a state or local government agency, the New Jersey Tort Claims Act also requires you to provide the agency with notice of your tort claim within 90 days of the date of the accident. Under certain circumstances, a court may extend this notice period up to one year. Therefore, if you were involved in a motor vehicle crash with a public agency vehicle, you need to speak to South Jersey motor vehicle accident lawyers as soon as possible to ensure you timely commence your claim.
