About New York Personal Injury Lawsuits

Although personal injury laws exist to protect victims of injuries, the rules in New York regarding personal injury are complex – and can intimidate people recovering from serious trauma. Typically, victims have three years to file a lawsuit, but in some cases, the time limit is only one year. Personal injury lawsuits against the government have even tighter time requirements. NY also has very strict limitations on personal injury claims resulting from car accidents.
