New Jersey has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injuries, including those that occur in traffic accidents. If you need to file a lawsuit against Uber and/or the Uber driver, you must do so within two years from the date of the accident. If you let the statute of limitations run out, you risk missing the opportunity to recover damages for your injuries. If your accident injuries were so severe that you were in a coma or incapacitated for a long time, a court might grant an exception. However, this is rare. It’s best to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after your Uber accident.
