How Long Do You Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Atlantic City, NJ?

In New Jersey, a person generally has two years from the date of a crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this window can prevent someone from pursuing compensation altogether, regardless of how serious their injuries were. 

The two-year clock generally starts on the date of the crash itself, though certain circumstances, such as claims that involve a minor or a government entity, can shorten or otherwise affect that timeline. New Jersey also requires that claims against public entities, such as those that involve a poorly maintained bridge or roadway, be filed within 90 days under a separate notice requirement.

Because evidence like traffic camera footage, vehicle data, and witness memories can fade quickly, waiting too long to act can also make it harder to build a strong claim even within the legal deadline. In these cases, a car accident lawyer can help people understand which deadlines apply to each specific situation and works to gather the necessary documentation before it becomes harder to obtain.
