Even if you need clarification about your eligibility for compensation, it’s advisable to consult with a professional.
How do I know if I have a valid truck accident injury case?
Start by ensuring your safety and seeking medical attention if necessary. Document the accident scene, collect witness information, and take photos if possible. Reach out to our legal team promptly to discuss your case.
How can a truck accident attorney assist me?

According to Civil Practice Law & Rules of New York, Section 214, if you’ve been in a truck accident and wish to pursue personal injury damages in court, you must file a lawsuit within three years from the accident date.
