How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in New York?
According to the New York Civil Practice Law & Rules section 214, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in the state of New York is generally three years. The statute of limitations is a law which limits how long injury victims have to file a personal injury claim before they lose their legal right to do so.
More specifically, this means you may have three years from the date your accident occurred to file a claim, or you could lose your right to file along with your right to seek compensation. The statute of limitations does not depend on how severe your injuries are. Once the time runs out, you will no longer be eligible to file unless your case meets an exception to this law. The most notable exceptions include:
- If the injury victim was a minor at the time of the accident. In these cases, the three-year time period will typically begin once the claimant turns 18.
- If the alleged negligent party leaves the state of New York for at least four months before the lawsuit can be filed, the time of absence will most likely be excluded from the three-year time period.
The statute of limitations has a major impact on your ability to file a claim and pursue compensation, so it is important to speak to a skilled attorney about the specifics of your case as soon as possible.
Deadlines can be even shorter in certain claims against government entities, such as when an accident involves a municipal vehicle or a hazardous condition on public property in Rochester or elsewhere in Monroe County. An injury lawyer Rochester residents trust can review your situation, calculate the timing that applies, and make sure the necessary notices and filings are submitted correctly in the appropriate New York court.
