Do I Need A Lawyer For A Car Accident
As a general guideline, it’s best to contact a seasoned auto accident lawyer in NJ after a car accident as soon as possible. The first reason to do so is the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations is a law which is implemented on a state by state basis which limits how long claimants have to file any personal injury claim. According to the New Jersey Statutes section 2A:14-2 the state of New Jersey has a two-year timeline. This means you have two years from the date your accident occurred to file your claim or you will most likely be unable to do so.
