Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 5:13-7, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 5:13-7.
As a precondition to bringing any suit in connection with a skiing injury against
an operator, a skier shall report in writing to the ski area operator all the details
of any accident as soon as possible, but in no event longer than 90 days from the
time of the incident giving rise to the suit. The report shall include at least the following: name, address, brief description
of incident, location, alleged cause, others involved and witnesses, if any. If it is not practicable to give the report because of severe physical disability
resulting from a skiing accident or incident, the report shall be given as soon as
practicable. This section is not applicable with respect to a ski area unless the operator conspicuously
posts notice to skiers of the requirements of the section. A skier who fails to give the report within 90 days from the time of the accident
or incident may be permitted to give the report at any time within 1 year after the
accident or incident, in the discretion of a judge of the superior court, if the ski
area operator is not substantially prejudiced thereby. Application to the court for permission to give a late report shall be made upon
motion based upon affidavits showing sufficient reasons for the skier's failure to
give the report within 90 days from the time of the accident or incident.
