Common Questions

Personal Injury FAQs

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New York?
Generally, you have three years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit in New York. For claims against government entities, the deadline is much shorter — as few as 90 days to file a notice of claim. Contact us immediately.
What is my case worth?
Case value depends on the severity of injuries, impact on your life, liability of the defendant, and available insurance coverage. We give you an honest assessment during our free consultation.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
New York follows ‘pure comparative negligence,’ meaning you can recover even if you were partially at fault — but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. We fight to minimize any fault attributed to you.
Do I have to pay upfront for your services?
For personal injury cases, we work on a contingency fee basis — you pay no attorneys’ fees unless we recover compensation for you. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery.
Should I speak to the other driver’s insurance company?
No — not without speaking to an attorney first. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Let us handle all communications.
What damages can I recover?
Economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future medical costs) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life). In some cases, punitive damages may be available.
