The New Jersey statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is 2 years (N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2A:14-2(a)). Claims against a government body usually run on a much shorter separate notice deadline. Missing either one generally ends the claim regardless of its merits, so the filing date matters more than almost any other early decision.
