  • If there exists a judgment against me, how long will the judgment stand of record?

    Absent the judgment being extinguished by a bankruptcy proceeding, a judgment within New Jersey is valid for twenty (20) years and may be revived for an additional period.

  • If I am injured as a result of the negligence of a public entity or public employee, are there any special notice considerations?

    Yes, within the State of New Jersey we have a Tort Claims Act. The Act provides that a proper Notice of Claim must be filed by or on behalf of the person injured against the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey if the claim is against New Jersey or against the State Department or agency or local public entity responsible for the injury or damages. The claim must contain certain specified information and must be filed no later than ninety (90) days after the cause of action accrued. While there is a specific provision within the Statute allowing for a Notice of Late Claim to be filed in the discretion of a Superior Court Judge, within one (1) year of the accrual of the cause of action, the factors allowing the grant of an application to file a late claim are severe. It is most important that if you are injured or sustain damages by a public entity or public employee that you immediately contact a law firm.

  • If I sustain damages as a result of the breach of contract of an individual, organization and/or legal entity, how long do I have to file a lawsuit?

    The general statute of limitations for contract actions is six (6) years from the time the breach occurs. However, contracts for sale are governed by the Uniform Commercial Code which sets forth a statute of limitations of four (4) years after the breach has occurred. The Uniform Commercial Code also provides that the parties may by agreement, reduce the statute of limitations to not less than one (1) year. Therefore important to meet with an attorney as soon as possible after a breach of contract occurs so as to preserve your rights.

  • Can a contract provide for a statute of limitations which is less than the general contract statute of limitations of six (6) years?

    Yes, a contract can provide for a statute of limitations which is less than the general statute of limitations for contracts of six (6) years. In many instances, insurance policies provide for a one (1) year statute of limitations from the time of denial of a claim.
