Questions About Personal Injury?

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New York?
In New York, you generally have 3 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, some cases have shorter deadlines, such as claims against government entities (90 days to file a notice of claim). Contact us immediately to ensure you don't miss important deadlines.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident?
New York follows 'pure comparative negligence' rules. This means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault, though your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you're 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you could recover $80,000.
How much is my personal injury case worth?
Every case is unique. Factors affecting your case value include the severity of injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, impact on quality of life, and the defendant's insurance coverage. We provide honest assessments during your free consultation.
Do I need to go to court for a personal injury case?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court through negotiation. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we're prepared to take your case to trial. Our attorneys are experienced litigators who won't back down from a fight.
