Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

What's the statue of limitations on a possible ex employee law case? I worked for an Automobile dealers enterprise of 4 dealerships and 9 franchises for over a 17 year period. I had a tremendous amount of responsibility. Some of my duties -general manager/ finance director/ customer relations manager and wore all of these hats every day. I took a couple of months off because of a being I'll from a rare genetic disease. This August will be 3 years since I stopped working. I was finally approved for disability 3 months ago. They wouldn't allow me back. I was not treated fairly and I feel I deserve some compensation. What could be considered fair?

Kindly note and remember that my response is merely a general comment on the law related to your question, and NOT legal advice or opinion. Also, your question and my response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between us. You cannot rely upon what I have written, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you or render an opinion. Even simple facts you have not shared can completely change my answer. For me to give you legal advice or opinion, you would need to hire me to be your lawyer, and then we would need to discuss this in detail and go over the documents.
