New Jersey law has a two-year statute of limitations for those who fall victim to negligence in a construction accident. The statute of limitations time clock starts on the date of injury, so take action as soon as possible. Waiting too long to file a personal injury claim puts you at risk of missing the opportunity to receive compensation for your injuries.
The law allows for some rare exceptions that pause the time clock and provide an extended timeline. However, it’s doubtful a court will hear your case if you file after the two-year statute of limitations period ends. Construction accidents often occur on the job.
