Re: Statute of limitation

The Statute of Limitations for personal injuries sustained as a result of a "slip and fall" case is generally 2 years. However, if the case is against a municipality you must file a Tort Claim Notice -- a letter advising the local, county or state agency of the basis of your claim and information about yourself. If you fail to file that Tort Claim Notice within the 90 days, you can file a Motion with the Superior Court to expand the time to one year but that on occasion is denied unless you have a valid reason for having missed the 90 day period. In addition, if the claim is against the Port Authority of NY and NJ, you must file the Tort Claim Notice within 90 days but you must sue within one year (rather than 2 years).
