When Should I File a Personal Injury Claim?

Categories: Personal Injury.
Deadlines for filing personal injury claims vary by state. In New Jersey, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim.
These types of claims apply to any injury you suffered, but not damage to personal property. Property damage would fall under a different statute of limitations, which define how long you have to file claims for various legal issues.
A personal injury applies to any type of bodily harm you suffered because of the negligence of another person, company or corporation. Such injuries may result from:
- Auto accidents
- Nursing home abuse
- Slip and fall injuries
- Pedestrian accidents
You have two years before recovering compensation is impossible; however, you should act right away. Contact personal injury lawyer Anthony Carbone as soon as possible, while documentation and testimony regarding your injury are still accessible. Attorney Carbone will investigate the details of your injury and begin amassing evidence demonstrating the devastating affect your injury has had on your life.
