Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Can I Sue After an Injury in New York City?
Possibly. If another person, business, property owner, driver, contractor, or other party acted negligently and caused your injury, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim.
What is the deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York City?
The statute of limitations in NY is 3 years from the date of the accident for most personal injury claims. However, if your accident involved a city-owned vehicle, city property, or any government entity, it can be as quick as 90 days. Missing this deadline will almost certainly bar your claim permanently. Contact an attorney to ensure you know the timeline for your personal case.
Does New York City's no-fault insurance law prevent me from suing the person who caused my accident?
Not necessarily. New York’s no-fault system covers your immediate economic losses up to $50,000, but you can still pursue a lawsuit against the at-fault party if your injuries meet the serious injury threshold. An experienced New York City personal injury lawyer can assess whether your injuries qualify.
What should I do immediately after an accident in New York City?
Call 911 and request medical attention. Document the scene as thoroughly as possible, including photographs of your injuries, the location, and any contributing conditions. Collect contact information from any witnesses. Do not make statements about fault to anyone at the scene or to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
Can undocumented or migrant workers file personal injury claims in New York City?
Yes. Undocumented and migrant workers have full legal rights when injured in New York City, including in construction accidents. Many workers are wrongly told they cannot pursue a claim. That is not true. If you were injured on a job site, you have the right to speak with a personal injury attorney regardless of your immigration status.
How long will my personal injury case take?
Personal injury cases vary significantly in duration. The complexity of your injuries, the number of parties involved, the degree of liability dispute, and how backlogged the courts are all affect the timeline. Cases that resolve without trial can move faster. Cases that require trial typically take longer
