Q: Do I have a personal injury case in New York?
A: You may have a case if you were injured because of another party’s negligence, such as a car accident, slip-and-fall, construction injury, or medical negligence. We evaluate liability, damages, and legal deadlines specific to NY.
Q: How much is my injury claim worth?
A: Claim value depends on medical bills, lost wages, long-term effects, and fault. After reviewing your injuries and supporting documents, we provide an estimated value based on similar NY personal injury claims.
Q: How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in NY?
A: New York’s statute of limitations is often 3 years. Claims against cities or public agencies have shorter deadlines. Missing a deadline may prevent recovery.
Q: What if I’m partially at fault for the accident?
A: New York uses comparative negligence, allowing you to recover damages even if you share responsibility. Your compensation is reduced based on your percentage of fault.
Q: Who pays my medical bills after a car accident in New York?
A: In New York, no-fault insurance (also called Personal Injury Protection or PIP) typically pays for your initial medical expenses after a car accident, regardless of who caused the crash. PIP coverage may also reimburse a portion of lost wages and certain out-of-pocket expenses.
