How long do I have to sue for an injury sustained in an NYC car crash?

If you have been involved in a car accident in New York City, you may wish to wait to see if your injuries heal on their own without taking legal action against the party responsible. Many people do so, however, they must be careful that they do not wait any longer than the statute of limitations allows. Since the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New York City is, generally, three years, you will, under most circumstances, have three years from the date of your accident to sue the party responsible. If you wait any longer than three years, you will most likely be time-barred from suing. Do not let this happen. We are ready to fight for you.
