More details to this question:
Someone did a hit and run in PA on my car on 12/31/2016. Was able to hunt down the driver and made a verbal agreement to pay for my damages. Now he stalled on the payments. He lives in Camden county NJ I also live in NJ is there a statute of limitation to sue him for the damages/ loss wages? Where and how should I go about filing a complaint

If both defendant and plaintiff reside in NJ then you can sue him in Camden County. Assuming you are talking about property damage claims you have six years. If you were thinking about personal injury claims then only two years. You can find form complaints on the New Jersey Courts online website for self-represented people (people without attorneys).
