Statute of Limitations in New Jersey

In most personal injury cases, you have 2 years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. If you’re suing a government agency (for example, due to a gas utility explosion), the window may be even shorter.

Don’t wait. Evidence like surveillance footage, safety logs, or defective equipment can be lost quickly.
