Personal Injury Case Frequently Asked Questions
How much time do I have to file a personal injury claim in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, most personal injury lawsuits must be started within two years from the date the injury occurred. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. If you miss it, you may lose the right to recover compensation entirely, regardless of how strong your case is. That’s why it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible—early action gives us time to collect evidence, interview witnesses, and build the strongest case on your behalf.
Will I need to pay anything out of pocket?
No. At Antonucci Law, we operate on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we recover money for you. You will never be asked to pay upfront costs, retainers, or hourly fees. We also provide free initial consultations, giving you the chance to ask questions and learn about your legal options without any financial risk.
What makes Antonucci Law different?
Our firm stands out for both our depth of experience and our personalized client care. Attorney Stacey Selem Antonucci brings more than three decades of trial experience and is certified as a Civil Trial Attorney by the New Jersey Supreme Court—an honor held by only a small percentage of lawyers in the state. Working alongside her, Attorney Joseph L. McCaffrey ensures that every detail of each case is carefully managed. Together, we deliver aggressive representation while treating every client with respect and individualized attention.
What areas do you serve?
We represent clients throughout Union County and neighboring communities across New Jersey, including Elizabeth, Linden, Westfield, Rahway, and more. Even if you live outside these areas, we encourage you to reach out—our team is committed to helping injury victims wherever they need support.
What steps should I take after an accident?
Your health is the top priority. Seek medical care immediately, even if you don’t believe you are badly hurt, since some injuries may not show symptoms right away. If possible, document the accident by taking photos, saving medical records, and collecting witness contact information. Finally, contact a personal injury attorney quickly. The sooner we get involved, the better we can safeguard your rights and start building a strong case for compensation.
