Local context

Legal landscape in New York

New York runs on a no-fault auto framework. PIP usually pays first, and a serious-injury threshold may limit what you can pursue against the other driver. Pure comparative fault still governs once litigation begins. Construction and scaffold accidents fall under their own statutes.

Most personal injury cases carry a three-year deadline, yet claims involving municipalities can require notice within 90 days. A New York attorney can check both dates for you.

Matters that frequently surface in New York case reviews

  • 01

    The serious-injury threshold after a collision

    No-fault benefits typically pay before anything else. Separate rules determine whether you may sue the other driver for pain and suffering. When a lawsuit does proceed, pure comparative fault still governs.

  • 02

    90-day notice for claims against cities

    Certain notice-of-claim windows against New York City or other public entities run as short as 90 days. That deadline gets missed often after a bus, sidewalk, or subway-adjacent incident.

  • 03

    Scaffold and construction statutes

    Construction and elevation claims can bring in Labor Law provisions that many other states do not have. AutoInjuryAccident.com does not represent you in Supreme Court.
