Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents
Get answers to common questions about car accidents cases in New York.
New York has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims from car accidents. However, no-fault benefits (PIP) must be filed within 30 days of the accident. Claims against government entities require a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
New York uses a pure comparative negligence system, meaning you can recover damages even if you were 99% at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 30% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you would receive $70,000.
Usually no. Initial offers from insurance companies are typically lowball amounts designed to settle quickly and cheaply. An experienced attorney can evaluate the true value of your claim and negotiate for fair compensation that covers all your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
You may recover compensation for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, future medical costs, loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional distress. In cases involving egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be available.
