New Jersey car accident law, in brief
Six rules that shape most car accident cases here. General information, not legal advice. Each links to the law it comes from, checked October 9, 2026, and to our guide.
- 2 years to fileIn general, an injury lawsuit must be filed within 2 years after the claim arises.N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2(a)Deadlines to sue, explained
- 90 days if a government is involvedAn injury claim against a New Jersey public entity must be presented within 90 days after the claim arises. A lawsuit may follow 6 months after the notice is received. For extraordinary circumstances, a judge may allow a late notice within 1 year. That needs the public entity not to be substantially prejudiced. No suit may be filed more than 2 years after the claim arises.N.J.S.A. 59:8-8Claims against a town or the State
- Your own PIP pays firstStandard New Jersey auto policies include personal injury protection, or PIP. It pays benefits no matter who caused the crash. Drivers also choose, in writing, how far they can sue.N.J.S.A. 39:6A-4How PIP pays your bills
- The verbal threshold can limit pain and sufferingUnless a driver chose otherwise in writing, their policy limits lawsuits for pain and suffering. They can sue for it only after certain injuries, such as a displaced fracture or a permanent injury.N.J.S.A. 39:6A-8(a)The verbal threshold, explained
- Partly at fault? You may still recoverYour recovery is cut by your share of the fault. If you are more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing.N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1Shared fault, explained
- Fees are cappedIn injury cases, a lawyer's contingent fee is capped at 33⅓% of the first $750,000. The cap steps down to 30%, 25% and 20% on each next $750,000. Above $3 million, a court sets the fee. The fee is figured after case costs come out.R. 1:21-7(c), (d)How lawyer fees work

Questions people ask
How much does a car accident lawyer cost in Hoboken?
Most car accident lawyers in New Jersey work on contingency, so the fee comes out of any recovery. Court Rule 1:21-7 caps it at 33⅓% of the first $750,000, figured after case costs. None of the 3 Hoboken firms we ranked for car accident cases publish their fee.
How long do I have to sue after a car accident in New Jersey?
Usually 2 years after the injury, under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2(a). If a public entity is involved, like a city vehicle or road, written notice is due within 90 days, under N.J.S.A. 59:8-8.
Can I sue for pain and suffering if I have the verbal threshold?
Only if the injury is one of the kinds listed in N.J.S.A. 39:6A-8(a), such as displaced fractures, significant scarring and a permanent injury. Your own PIP pays benefits no matter who caused the crash, under N.J.S.A. 39:6A-4.
