Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time limit to file a personal injury lawsuit in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation.
How does New Jersey no-fault insurance affect my injury claim?
New Jersey is a no-fault state for car accidents, meaning your own insurance pays for medical bills up to your policy limit. You can only sue the other driver if your injuries meet a serious threshold, such as permanent injury or significant disfigurement.
What types of damages can I recover in a Rockaway personal injury case?
You can recover economic damages like medical expenses and lost wages. You may also recover non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Punitive damages are rare and only awarded in cases of egregious misconduct.
