As lethal-guitar mentioned getJSON() function is just an shorthand for $.ajax(). If you want to detect if a timeout has occurred rather than an actual error use the code below.

var request = $.ajax({
    dataType: "json",
    url: url,
    data: data,
    success: function( ) { },
    timeout: 2000
}).fail( function( xhr, status ) {
    if( status == "timeout" ) {
        // do stuff in case of timeout
    }
});
