Most New Jersey personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury—but key exceptions can shift that deadline. This article explains the discovery rule, special timelines for minors and birth-injury cases, and the 90-day Tort Claims Act notice for cases involving public entities.

In New Jersey, car accident victims often rely on Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage, sometimes called ‘no-fault benefits,’ to pay medical bills and related expenses after a crash. PIP is required under New Jersey’s auto insurance system, but many people misunderstand what is covered and the potential pitfalls.

In New Jersey, personal injury claims are subject to the rule of comparative negligence. This means your compensation may be reduced if you are found partially at fault for your accident. For tailored guidance, speak with a qualified New Jersey Personal Injury Lawyer.

If your injury involves a state, county, or municipal entity (or their employees), strict rules apply: what to include, where to serve, and when. If you’re unsure, get counsel fast. For broader help with your case, see New Jersey Personal Injury Lawyer
