Key Provisions of the NJTCA Notice of Claim: Claimants must file a Notice of Claim with the public entity within 90 days of the incident. This notice must include details about the claim, including the circumstances of the incident, the nature and extent of the injury, and the amount of damages sought.
The New Jersey Tort Claims Act found at N.J.S. A59:2-2, is a law that requires an individual with a potential claim against a public entity or their employees to file such a claim within 90 days of the alleged incident. In most cases, individuals cannot bring a claim against a government entity in New Jersey.
A notice of claim is a legally required document that must be submitted before you can file a lawsuit against a government entity. This notice informs the government of your intention to sue, outlines the basis for your claim, and provides essential details about the incident, such as when and where it occurred.
Filing a Claim Alternatively, you may provide written notification (such as a letter) detailing: 1) the allegation(s), 2) sum certain (total dollar amount claimed in damages), and 3) an original signature of the claimant(s). You should also include all documentation supporting your claim.
A lawsuit is a formal case that has been filed in the appropriate court of law, while a tort claim is usually an informal notice of claim that may trigger an informal resolution without the cost of litigation.
