Cappello v. Cicchetti, LLC · filed 2026-03-17(a)

Applying the long-standing precedent established in Heavner, we conclude the governing statute of limitations period was two-years as provided under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2(a). The Legislature's subsequent adoption of the PLA, which excepts express warranty claims, does not alter a plaintiff's obligation to file a complaint within two years of when their personal injury cause of action accrued.

Section 2A:14-2(a) gives plaintiffs two years to file LAD claims; the continuing-violation doctrine can delay when that period begins.

Acey v. City of Paterson · filed 2026-04-02(a)

We discern no error with the judge's rejection of the continuing violation doctrine and grant of summary judgment to defendants, dismissing counts one and three of plaintiff's complaint as time-barred under LAD's two-year statute of limitations.

The parties agree that New Jersey law applies here and provides a two-year statute of limitations for both Scanlon’s claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the New Jersey Civil Rights Act. See N.J.S.A. § 2A:14-2; Dique v. N.J. State Police, 603 F.3d 181, 185 (3d Cir. 2010). Because Scanlon was a minor when the relevant conduct occurred, his claims were tolled until he turned eighteen on April 1, 2014. See N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2A:14-21. Scanlon’s claims were therefore required to be asserted by April 1, 2016.

Section 2A:14-2 provides a two-year limitations period for actions for injury to a person.

Ouaziz v. City of Jersey · filed 2023-10-24

The District Court correctly observed the longest applicable statute of limitations period to his claims was two years and Ouaziz did not allege a basis for equitable tolling or a later accrual date, so his claims based on incidents in 2019 and prior are time-barred. See, e.g., 42 U.S.C. § 1986 (one year); Dique v. N.J. State Police, 603 F.3d 181, 185 (3d Cir. 2010) (two years for claim under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1985 arising in New Jersey); N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2.

Section 2A:14-2’s two-year limit for injury to the person does not cover a claim for commercial appropriation of a person’s name and likeness.

Canessa v. Kislak, Inc. · filed 1967-10-19

So here, since this action for "invasion of privacy" involves no "force to the person," it would not have been enforceable by trespass vi et armis and is not comprehended within the phrase "injury to persons" contained in N.J.S. 2A:14-2.

Section 2A:14-2’s two-year limitations period applies only when the gravamen of the claim is injury to the person, so it does not cover a legal malpractice claim for pecuniary loss.

Carney v. Finn · filed 1976-12-06

We are satisfied the two-year statute applies only where the gravamen of the plaintiff's complaint is injury to the person. Clearly, we do not deal here with a personal injury claim but rather an assertion that an attorney engaged for a particular purpose was negligent in the handling of it, resulting in pecuniary loss to appellant. Such a claim comes under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-1 (the six-year statute) and is therefore not barred.

Section 2A:14-2’s two-year personal injury limitations period does not govern a § 1981 employment discrimination claim founded on contractual rights, even when the plaintiff also seeks damages for resulting physical injuries.

Page v. Curtiss-Wright Corporation · filed 1971-10-18

This is said by defendant to be the New Jersey two-year statute of limitations (N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2), citing Hughes v. Smith, 264 F.Supp. 767 (D.N.J.1967), aff’d. per curiam, 389 F.2d 42 (3 Cir. 1968), which applied the two-year New Jersey personal injury statute of limitations (N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2) to bar a civil rights claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Although it is New Jersey’s statute of limitations which applies, Hughes is inapposite. ... Accordingly, it is New Jersey’s six-year statute of limitations (N.J.S.A. 2A:-14-1) which, as a matter of federal law, is determined to govern plaintiff’s claim.

Section 2A:14-2’s two-year limitations period governs parents’ individual claims for medical expenses, pain and suffering, embarrassment, and humiliation.

Henry v. Richardson-Merrell, Inc. · filed 1973-11-14

In New Jersey the two-year limitations period of N.J.S.A. 2A :14-2 governs the timeliness of a parent’s individua] claims for medical expenses, pain and suffering, embarrassment, humiliation, etc.

Section 2A:14-2’s two-year limit applies when the defendant caused an injury to the person, but not to a legal malpractice claim for the loss of recovery in a personal injury action.

Fuschetti v. Bierman · filed 1974-04-30

By its language the two-year statute applies only where defendant is charged with having "caused" plaintiff an injury to the person. Such is not the case here where defendant is charged with having caused plaintiff the loss of recovery from an action which happens to be for a personal injury.

Section 2A:14-2’s two-year tort limitations period does not govern a demand for arbitration under an uninsured motorist endorsement.

Selected Risks Ins. Co. v. Dierolf · filed 1975-12-19

Defendant Dierolf's demand for arbitration under Selected Risks' uninsured motorist endorsement is not governed by the statute of limitations applicable to torts and he may not be denied access to arbitration of his claim on the basis of that statute.

Section 2A:14-2’s two-year limit applies to physical or mental injuries, based on the nature of the injury; a claim for lost wages from discharge falls outside it.

Brown v. College of Medicine and Dentistry · filed 1979-03-21

N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2 is also inapplicable, since it relates to suits "at law for an injury to the person. " This statute applies to suits involving a wide variety of physical and mental injuries, regardless of whether they arose out of a contractual obligation or from some tortious conduct. Heavner v. Uniroyal, Inc., 118 N.J. Super. 116 (App. Div. 1972). This is so because it is the nature of the injuries, not the theory of recovery, which is controlling. Atlantic City Hospital v. Finkle, 110 N.J. Super. 435 (Law Div. 1970). In contrast, plaintiff in the present suit is not seeking damages for "an injury to her person." Rather, what she seeks are damages to compensate her for her wage loss.

Section 2A:14-2 does not apply to an insured’s claim against a carrier for benefits provided by an insurance policy.

Ochs v. Federal Ins. Co. · filed 1980-12-23

We do not, however, regard an action by an insured against his carrier for benefits provided by the policy to be based on an injury to the person within the intendment of N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2. It is, to the contrary, an action for recovery on a contractual claim within the intendment of N.J.S.A. 2A:14-1.

Section 2A:14-2 bars an emotional distress claim filed after the limitations period has expired.

Goncalvez v. Patuto · filed 1983-03-11

We do, however, agree with defendant that the father's cause of action for emotional distress resulting from the witnessing of his son's death is precluded by the statute of limitations. N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2. He sustained that injury in 1976. The right of action was thus barred long before the 1980 commencement of this suit.

Section 2A:14-2 bars a parent's independent wrongful birth claim filed after its two-year limitations period, even when the child's claim is timely.

Procanik by Procanik v. Cillo · filed 1984-08-01

The defect in the parents' argument in the present case is that their right to recover is not "because of injury" to their child, but because of direct injury to their own independent rights. Consequently, the parents' right to recover is not derivative from the claim of the child and is, therefore, barred by N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2.

Section 2A:14-2’s two-year limit for personal injury claims does not displace the Port Authority’s specific one-year limit.

Port Authority of New York v. Ingram · filed 1989-04-27

Whether Ingram's claim in this case is characterized as contractual or one for personal injury governed by the two-year limitation in N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2, Ingram advances no satisfactory or persuasive reason to abandon the Authority's specific one-year blanket limitation statute.

Section 2A:14-2 provides a two-year limitations period that does not generally govern IDEA fee applications.

B.K. v. Toms River Board of Education · filed 1998-03-30

Section 2A:14-2's two-year limitations period applies to legal malpractice claims arising from criminal defense when the alleged harm is personal injury, even if the prosecution also caused economic loss.

McGrogan v. Till · filed 2000-02-01

We also conclude, as an alternative ground for our affirmance of the judgment, that the two-year limitations period applies. ... We are persuaded that the consequences of Till's alleged malpractice qualify as personal injuries.

Section 2A:14-2 imposes a two-year limit on a parishioner's claim that a clergy member breached a fiduciary duty arising from a counseling relationship.

Balliet v. Fennell · filed 2004-03-30

Applying these principles, we hold that a cause of action for breach of the fiduciary obligation by a member of the clergy who has established a counseling relationship with a parishioner is governed by the two-year "injury to the person" statute of limitations.

Section 2A:14-2’s two-year period does not govern a false-light privacy claim grounded in defamatory publication.

Swan v. Boardwalk Regency Corp. · filed 2009-05-07

Based on our analysis of the record and the applicable law, we, too, are persuaded that the nature of plaintiff's invasion of privacy claim is essentially one of defamation, and that the type of alleged objectionable conduct by defendant is dissimilar to that giving rise to the two-year statute of limitations ("intrusion on seclusion"), Rumbauskas, supra, or six-year limitations period ("appropriation"), Canessa, supra .

Section 2A:14-2 provides a two-year limitations period for personal-injury claims, which governs § 1983 claims arising in New Jersey.

New Jersey “mandates a two-year statute of limitations period for personal-injury torts.” Id. (citing N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2A:14- 2).

Section 2A:14-2’s general two-year limitations period applies to § 1983 claims arising in New Jersey, including claims involving sexual assault.

Thomas v. Harry R. Howard, Esquire · filed 1972-02-09

The New Jersey statute of limitations applicable to this case would be N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2, which prescribes a period of two years. Since appellant did not file this action until March 25, 1970, his cause of action has been outlawed by the statute of limitations.

Section 2A:14-2’s general limitations period does not govern a civil rights damages action against a municipality when the more specific limit in N.J.S.A. 59:8-8 applies.

Gipson v. Township of Bass River · filed 1979-04-05

The court finds that the specific limitation provided in N.J.S.A. 59:8-8 controls over the more general provisions of N.J.S.A. 2A:14-1 or 14-2 and thus is more appropriate.

Section 2A:14-2 sets a two-year limit for personal injury actions, but that limit did not apply retroactively to this pre-Wilson § 1983 suit for recovery of seized property.

Brown v. Foley · filed 1987-01-26

In New Jersey that statute is N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2, which provides that an action for injury to the person caused by wrongful act, neglect or default must be commenced within two years of the accrual of the cause of action. ... We conclude that it should have been applied in the present case and that the application to this case of the two-year statute of limitations applicable to state actions for personal injuries was erroneous.

New Jersey’s two-year limitations period for personal injury actions applies to claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

Genty v. Resolution Trust Corporation · filed 1991-07-08
