How New Jersey Law Works.
The four things that change when your injury case is in New Jersey.
filing deadline
Most Texas personal injury cases (car accidents, slip and fall, product liability, medical malpractice) must be filed within 2 years of the accident date under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Missing this deadline is absolute — failure to file within 2 years bars the case permanently.
Time matters
Don't wait. Evidence gets lost fast — security camera footage often disappears within days. There's also a deadline to file. The sooner you call, the more we can do.
Tort Claims Act — 90 Days
Claims against New Jersey state, county, or municipal entities require a written special notice rules of the injury under the Tort Claims Act — one of the shortest notice windows in the country. Failure to file the notice within 90 days bars the claim. Verbal threshold limits also apply to most auto cases.
