How long do I have to file a car accident claim in New York?

Most personal injury claims must be filed within three years of the accident in New York, but deadlines can vary—especially for claims against municipalities. Speak to an attorney as soon as possible.

Do I need to see a doctor the same day?

Yes—seek medical attention immediately. Prompt treatment protects your health and creates documentation linking your injuries to the crash, which is critical for no-fault and liability claims.

What is New York’s serious injury threshold?

It’s a legal standard that allows you to step outside no-fault and pursue pain-and-suffering damages when injuries meet certain criteria (e.g., significant disfigurement, fracture, permanent limitation).

How does no-fault (PIP) work in New York?

No-fault (PIP) covers your initial medical bills and part of lost wages regardless of fault. You must submit the NF-2 application within 30 days of the crash. Serious injuries may permit additional claims.

How much does a Brooklyn car accident lawyer cost?

Most cases are handled on a contingency fee basis—no fee unless we recover compensation for you. Initial consultations are free.
