What is the statute of limitations for the claim in my case?

Court staff cannot tell you what the applicable statute of limitations is for your case. N.J.S.A. 2A:14-1 et. seq. sets forth the limitations for various causes of action. You can refer to this statute to determine the statute of limitations in your case. In general, the statute of limitations for a contract action is 6 years and for a personal injury action is 2 years. You should be aware, however, that various factors may alter these time periods.
