§ 5:15-6.
a. As a precondition to bringing any suit in connection with a participant injury
against an operator, a participant shall submit a written report to the operator setting
forth all details of any accident or incident as soon as possible, but in no event
longer than 180 days from the time of the accident or incident giving rise to the
suit. b. The report shall include at least the following: The participant's name and address,
a brief description of the accident or incident, the location of the accident or incident,
the alleged cause of the accident or incident, the names of any other persons involved
in the accident or incident and witnesses, if any. If it is not practicable to submit the report within 180 days because of severe
physical disability resulting from a participant accident or incident, the report
shall be submitted as soon as practicable. This section is not applicable with respect to an equestrian area unless the operator
conspicuously posts notice to participants of the requirements of the section. c. A participant who fails to submit the report within 180 days from the time of the
accident or incident may be permitted to submit the report at any time within one
year after the accident or incident, if in the discretion of a judge of the Superior
Court the operator is not substantially prejudiced thereby. Application to the court for permission to submit a late report shall be made upon
motion based on affidavits showing sufficient reasons for the participant's failure
to give the report within 180 days from the time of the accident or incident
