Generally speaking, you have two years to file a personal injury action in New Jersey under the statute of limitations. There are exceptions to the rule. If you were a minor when the incident happened, you have two years from the date of your 18th birthday to file a lawsuit. There may be other equitable exceptions to the statute of limitations, but to know whether you can overcome this legal defense, you would need to speak to an attorney and provide more information.
