We Encourage You to Take Prompt Legal Action After Getting Hurt
New York, like all states, has civil statutes of limitations. These deadlines mandate how long you have to file a lawsuit after getting hurt, losing a loved one, or discovering an injury. Depending on your situation, one or more of the following deadlines may apply:
- You generally have three years from the date you suffered injuries to file your civil lawsuit, per CPLR § 214.
- If you lost a loved one, you generally have two years from their passing to file, per EPTL § 5-4-1.
- If you suffered medical malpractice, you typically have two years and six months to file your lawsuit, per CPLR § 214-A. Some medical malpractice situations, such as failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis of cancer, can extend this time.
Some exceptions may shorten your filing deadline. For instance, if you’re filing a lawsuit against the government, you usually have 90 days to file your Notice of Claim, per GMU § 50-E. Our lawyers can review your situation and explain your applicable filing deadlines.

What Should I do After Getting Hurt or Losing a Loved One?
There are many steps you should consider taking right now. For instance, if you suffered harm, we recommend seeking medical attention. The information you get from your healthcare provider can bolster your claim.
We also suggest:
- Refraining from posting about the incident online
- Referring the claims adjuster to your lawyer
- Completing your recommended medical treatment
- Keeping track of your injury-related losses
- Refusing to give a recorded statement to the opposing carrier
- Consulting your lawyer before accepting a settlement offer
Of course, we also recommend considering your legal options. We can handle all your case obligations from beginning to end.
Who Could Be Responsible for Your Losses?
Many claimants don’t understand the difference between being “at fault” and “liable.” For instance, if you were bitten by an aggressive dog, the animal’s owner could be at fault.
The liable party pays for your losses. So, in the dog bite scenario, homeowners insurance may pay for your losses, making it liable.
We’re Ready to Help If You Suffered These Injuries in Suffolk County
We’ve recovered compensation for brain injury victims, near-drowning survivors, and other injured claimants. You may wonder whether your injuries qualify for compensation. We’ve recovered damages for cases involving:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that TBIs result from blows or jolts to the head, disrupting normal brain function. Examples include concussions, hematomas, and brain swelling.
Sometimes, you may not notice a TBI right away. During your recovery period, be vigilant for chronic headaches, confusion, and mood changes. These are all indicators of TBIs.
Broken Bones, Including Arms, Hips, and Legs
Simple or compound fractures in the limbs, ribs, or pelvis are very painful – and can even affect your mobility. In addition, these injuries take a long time to heal, causing you to miss time from work.
Whiplash
Whiplash occurs when the head rapidly moves back and forth, similar to a whip. This sudden, jolting movement causes trauma to the soft tissue in the neck. BMC Public Health reports that whiplash survivors can struggle with the condition for one to five years.
Soft-Tissue Injuries
Falls, collisions, and other incidents can cause soft tissue injuries. Examples of these injuries include:
- Herniations
- Tendon tears
- Bursitis
- Sprains
- Tendinitis
- Contusions
- Strains
