New Jersey construction accident law, in brief
Rules that shape most construction accident cases here. General information, not legal advice. Each links to the law it comes from, checked October 11, 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
- Against your employer, it's workers' compWorkers' compensation is generally the only remedy against your employer and co-workers, except for an intentional wrong. A claim against someone else who caused the injury is still allowed. File the claim petition within 2 years of the accident or the last compensation payment. Without notice or knowledge within 90 days, no compensation is allowed.N.J.S.A. 34:15-8Workers' comp or a lawsuit?
- 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 construction accident lawyer cost in Jersey City?
Most construction 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 15 Jersey City firms we ranked for construction accident cases publish their fee.
How long do I have to sue after a construction 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 my employer for a construction accident in New Jersey?
Generally no. Under N.J.S.A. 34:15-8, workers' compensation is the remedy against your employer and co-workers, except for an intentional wrong. A claim against someone else who caused the injury is still allowed, under N.J.S.A. 34:15-40. The comp claim petition is due within 2 years.
Is a construction site lawyer the same as a construction accident lawyer?
Yes. Construction accident, construction site, scaffold fall and work site lawyers handle the same cases, so the firms on this page handle them.
Which Jersey City construction accident firms have Certified Civil Trial Attorneys?
As of October 9, 2026, 3 of the 15 do. Garces, Grabler & LeBrocq, P.C. has the most, with 2. The certification comes from the New Jersey Supreme Court.
Can a law firm pay to rank higher?
No. Scores come only from public measures, and the scoring code can't see who pays. Any featured spot is labeled and sits outside the ranked list.
