Bayonne’s choke points
- Route 440 runs the length of the west side, with shopping-center entrances and heavy truck traffic.
- The Turnpike Extension crosses Newark Bay into the north end of the city, with fast merges at its interchange.
- The Bayonne Bridge approach at the south end, where traffic often slows and backs up.
- Broadway, the main shopping street, where people on foot cross between parked cars.
The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail also stops in Bayonne, which brings riders walking to and from stations across busy streets. If you were hit on foot, the pedestrian accident page explains your rights.
The local hospital has a new name
Bayonne Medical Center was renamed Bayonne University Hospital in 2025. If your medical records or insurance letters use the old name, they refer to the same hospital.
Watch the deadlines
Most New Jersey injury lawsuits must be filed within two years. Some Bayonne crashes run on a shorter clock: a city vehicle or NJ Transit vehicle generally triggers a 90-day notice requirement, and the Port Authority, which runs the Bayonne Bridge, has its own rules. The guide to New Jersey crash deadlines explains each time limit in more detail.
The car accident page covers PIP and the rest of New Jersey’s rules. The Hudson County page and locations show the nearby places to meet.
Frequently asked questions
My accident was on the Bayonne Bridge. Are the rules different?
They can be. The bridge is run by the bistate Port Authority, and claims against the Port Authority have their own notice requirement and a shorter time limit to sue than an ordinary crash. Don’t wait to get advice.
Where is a Bayonne injury case filed?
Bayonne is in Hudson County, so a lawsuit is usually filed in Hudson County Superior Court in Jersey City. Any summons written at the scene goes to Bayonne Municipal Court instead.
How long do I have to bring a claim after a crash in Bayonne?
For most injury claims in New Jersey, the lawsuit deadline is two years from the crash. Claims against a public body, including a city vehicle or a NJ Transit vehicle, generally need written notice within 90 days.
