Protect Your Legal Rights: Don’t Let the New York Statute of Limitations Run Out
According to state law, N.Y. Civ. Prac. R. $ 214, in the State of New York, you have exactly three years from the date of your accident to file an injury claim. If you miss this deadline by even one day, you will not be able to file a compensation claim, despite being seriously injured.
When you have been involved in a car accident, you must begin working to protect your rights as soon as possible. Why? Because the other parties’ insurance companies will be working to protect theirs. You might get a phone call from “the other side” almost immediately, possibly doing something that seems fairly straightforward, like gathering some basic information.
Beware: In reality, from the moment they learn of an auto accident, the insurance companies will begin strategizing ways to avoid responsibility and the need to provide you with compensation.
One of these strategies might include prolonging the process, which could result in you missing important deadlines. To protect your legal right to pursue all claims, you should have representation; lawyers working on your behalf to ensure the statute of limitations does not expire before you have the opportunity to pursue a personal injury claim. You generally have three years to file a personal injury action after a car accident. However, there are several circumstances that that can drastically shrink that time period. For example, if your accident involves a no-fault situation, you only have 30 days to file your application.
