FAQ
Questions New Yorkers ask us
Deadlines are strict and depend on the type of claim. If you were hurt, call soon so nothing is missed.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in New York?
Most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within three years of the accident. Medical malpractice claims generally have two and a half years, wrongful death claims two years, and claims against New York City or other public entities usually require a notice of claim within 90 days. Exceptions exist, so speak with a lawyer as early as you can.
How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?
Injury cases are typically handled on a contingency basis, which means no attorney fee unless there is a recovery. The firm explains its fee and how case expenses are handled in writing before you sign anything.
What is no-fault insurance after a car accident?
In New York, your own auto policy's no-fault coverage pays medical bills and a portion of lost earnings regardless of who caused the crash. You generally need to submit your no-fault application within 30 days. To sue for pain and suffering, your injury usually must meet the state's definition of a serious injury.
Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?
Be careful. Adjusters may ask for a recorded statement early, and what you say can be used to reduce your claim. It is usually wise to speak with a lawyer before giving any statement.
I was hurt on a construction site. What are my rights?
New York's Labor Law offers strong protections to workers injured in falls and other gravity-related accidents, in addition to workers' compensation benefits. Which rules apply depends on your role and the site, so a case review is the best first step.
