- Drug CrimesA: Yes. Infants (under age 18) or incompetent individuals get an extension to file a lawsuit. Once an infant turns 18 years old, they get a two-year extension, but must file before their 20th year birthday. Of course, parents or guardians may file a lawsuit on behalf of the infant at any time before the infant’s 18th birthday. You should know that the statute of limitations is extremely complicated in medical malpractice cases, product liability cases, prescription drug cases, and other specialty claims. For example, a birth defect case may have either a 2-year statute of limitations or a 13-year statute of limitations to file a claim depending on the specific circumstances. There are many additional exceptions, especially when the injury is not discovered until a later time. This is a complex issue and you should call us in one of our eight neighborhood offices with detailed information so we can explain the options to you.

- Workers CompensationUnder New Jersey Law, it is not necessary for essential workers who developed COVID-19 to prove how it was that they contracted the virus. Instead, there is a legal presumption that any essential worker who contracted the virus, and worked with the public, contracted it through work and are therefore eligible for Workers Compensation benefits. These benefits can include payment of medical expenses, reimbursement for lost wages, and compensation based upon degree of disability. Should an essential worker have passed away from COVID-19, there are also long-term survivor benefits available for their families.
