In New York, your time to file a claim or lawsuit is limited. The statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits is generally three years from the time of your truck collision, per CPLR § 214. For wrongful death cases, you typically have two years from the date of your loved one’s passing to file, per EPTL § 5-4.1.
There may be circumstances that affect your deadline. For example, if the truck that hit you was a government vehicle, you may have even less time. We can give you a better idea of how the statute of limitations affect your case after we review the specific circumstances of your truck collision.

Our team of personal injury lawyers will investigate your truck collision to get to the bottom of what happened and who is responsible. We will uncover evidence to build the strongest possible case on your behalf.
Here are the four things we must establish in your case:
First, we will prove that you were owed something called a “duty of care.” This means that you had a reasonable expectation of safety while on the road. It is every driver’s responsibility to drive safely, and failure to do so can put everyone around them at risk.
If the truck driver who hit you failed to meet their duty of care to you, they may have been negligent. “Negligence” is when someone acts carelessly, recklessly, or fails to act at all in certain situations.
Once we have established that the truck driver was negligent, we will prove that this negligence is what caused your crash. This does not mean that their negligence must be the sole cause. In fact, you can still recover compensation even if you share some of the blame for what happened.
As long as we can present evidence that proves the truck driver was more responsible for what happened than you were, we can still recover losses on your behalf.
Finally, we will prove that the truck collision caused “damages,” or losses for which you can be compensated. There are two main types of damages you can pursue through a personal injury case: economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are compensation for your financial losses, such as your past and future:
Non-economic damages are compensation for the intangible cost of your injuries, such as your physical pain and mental suffering. If you lost your loved one to a negligent truck driver, you can pursue non-economic damages for your loved one’s pain and suffering as well as your own.
We can use the following information to prove that your crash was the result of negligence:
In traffic collisions, there are some common types of negligent driving behaviors that contribute to accidents. They include:
If one of these (or other) factors caused your collision, you could secure damages through a claim or lawsuit.
