Frequently Asked Questions

Who can be held liable in a New Jersey train accident?

Depending on the circumstances, liable parties may include NJ Transit, the railroad company, the operator of a vehicle at a grade crossing, a property owner responsible for maintaining a private crossing, or an equipment manufacturer. Cellino Law investigates all potential sources of liability.

How long do I have to file a train accident lawsuit in New Jersey?

New Jersey’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline permanently eliminates your right to seek compensation. Contact Cellino Law promptly to protect your rights. For NJ Transit claims, the 90-day Notice of Tort Claim requirement applies in addition to the general limitations period.
