"Evoto In New York, you generally have three years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim, and a Long Island personal injury lawyer can keep an eye on the statutory clock as they build your case to protect your right to take legal action against a liable party. New York Civil Practice Law & Rules (CPLR) 214(5) applies to most personal injury cases, including car accidents, slip and falls, or injuries caused by unsafe property conditions."
"Claims against a municipality (e.g., the City of New York): Under New York General Municipal Law 50-e, you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the incident. The lawsuit itself must be filed within one year and 90 days under General Municipal Law 50-i. Medical malpractice: The statute of limitations is two years and six months, per CPLR 214-a, starting either from the malpractice date or from when it was reasonably discovered."
"Missing these deadlines can result in losing your right to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Consulting an attorney and beginning your case sooner rather than later can help you comply with the statute of limitations and protect your rights to seek financial recovery. The founder and lead trial attorney at Chaikin Trial Group Injury Lawyers, Ian Chaikin, prepares every case as though it will go to trial, helping victims maximize their potential compensation."
Most personal injury claims in New York must be filed within three years under CPLR 214(5). Claims against municipalities require a Notice of Claim within 90 days and a lawsuit within one year and 90 days under General Municipal Law 50-e and 50-i. Medical malpractice claims have a statute of limitations of two years and six months under CPLR 214-a, measured from the malpractice or its reasonable discovery. Wrongful death claims generally must be filed within two years from the date of death under EPTL 5-4.1. CPLR 208 may toll time limits for minors or incapacitated individuals. Missing deadlines can bar recovery; early attorney consultation is recommended.
