The Statute of Limitations in Your Case

In New York, you generally have three years from the date of the collision to file a personal injury claim for financial compensation. If a family member was killed in a passenger vehicle accident, you could have as little as two years to file a wrongful death claim. There may be some circumstances in your case that make these deadlines even shorter, such as suing a municipality.

If the statute of limitations expires in your case, you will lose your right to recover compensation via lawsuit, even if your evidence against the responsible party is strong.

When you call Rosenberg & Gluck, L.L.P. for a free consultation, a member of our team can discuss what legal deadlines pertain to your case.

No-Fault Insurance May Not Cover All of Your Losses

New York requires registered vehicle owners to obtain and maintain no-fault insurance protection, also known as personal injury protection (PIP). According to the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS), a no-fault policy may cover basic collision-related expenses such as medical bills or a certain amount of income loss. Basic no-fault protection will not compensate you for your pain and suffering or mental and emotional distress.

In order to recover for your pain and suffering, and damages that exceed the maximum limit of your no-fault coverage, a third-party lawsuit against the responsible party’s insurance company can be pursued.

A passenger vehicle accident attorney on Long Island from Rosenberg & Gluck, L.L.P. can help you apply for no-fault coverage and pursue additional damages against the liable party when we represent you.
