How Long After an Accident Can You Sue in New York?
The New York statute of limitations says that you are able to file a lawsuit for a Personal Injury up to three years from the day the accident occurred. This includes car accidents as well. If you attempt to file a claim after the three years, then the courts will most likely dismiss the case.
Is New York a No-Fault State For Car Accidents?
New York is a “no-fault” insurance state, which means that those who are insured are generally reimbursed by their insurance company for damages regardless of who was responsible for causing the accident. People who are insured may be reimbursed for medical costs and other losses that may arise after the accident.
