Filing Your Claim On Time

In the state of New York, accident victims are typically required to file their personal injury claims within three years, in accordance with the state’s statute of limitations. If you wait longer than three years, you’ll likely be permanently time-barred from suing. Further, some claims require you to file long before the three-year limit, so it’s always best to reach out to a seasoned personal injury lawyer sooner, rather than later.
