All states have legal deadlines for filing a civil claim in the state’s court system, known as the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim in New Jersey is two years from the time the accident occurred. This is a very important deadline. If you do not file your truck accident claim within the two-year legal timeframe, the New Jersey courts will dismiss your case. This also means you will be unable to recover compensation for your medical expenses and other losses stemming from the truck accident. So take note of this deadline and seek the counsel of an experienced truck accident attorney regarding the timeframe for filing.
