In the majority of New Jersey back injury or spinal cord injury cases, a victim has two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim under New Jersey law. However, there are exceptions.
For example, the deadline to file a claim might be extended if the injured person is a minor or if symptoms were discovered later. Delays in filing threaten your ability to seek financial compensation, so speak with a spinal cord injury lawyer as soon as possible following the incident to preserve your rights.
