Where to File in New Jersey
New Jersey personal injury claims are governed by N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2, providing a 2-year limitations period from discovery. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873 (D.S.C.). New Jersey state courts are also active PFAS venues. Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Burlington County is the primary military PFAS contamination site. Chemours' Pompton Lakes Works facility in Passaic County has documented PFAS in groundwater affecting Passaic County communities. New Jersey DEP has been aggressive in PFAS monitoring and enforcement.
