Frequently Asked Questions about Jersey City Spinal Cord Injuries

How long do I have to file a spinal cord injury claim in New Jersey?

Generally two years from the date of injury, though notice deadlines for certain entities can be much shorter.

What if my symptoms worsened weeks after the incident?

Delayed or evolving symptoms are common. Continue medical care and documentation; we coordinate updated records and expert opinions.

Can I recover for future medical and home‑care needs?

Yes. We work with life‑care planners to quantify long‑term costs for rehabilitation, equipment, and in‑home support.

What if I’m partially at fault?

New Jersey’s modified comparative negligence rules may still allow recovery if you are not more than 50% at fault.

Should I speak with the insurer before hiring a lawyer?

It’s best to consult counsel first; recorded statements can be used to limit your claim. We handle communications for you.
