Recovering Compensation for Your Injuries
In order to secure compensation for your injury, you will need to prove liability. New York state uses the standard of shared fault in personal injury cases. If you are found to be partly responsible for the accident or injury, your total compensation can be affected. Compensation may be reduced by the percentage that you were found to be at fault. It is important to seek advice from a knowledgeable lawyer regarding your case.
Every state has a specific amount of time for filing a personal injury lawsuit, also known as the statute of limitations. This time frame can vary from state to state. In New York, the statute of limitations is three years from the date of injury. If you don’t file a lawsuit within three years, the court will likely dismiss your case, and you will lose your right to collect compensation for your damages.
