Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York?

New York’s general statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years from the date of the accident under CPLR §214. Claims against a government entity have a much shorter window — you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the incident. Missing either deadline typically bars your claim permanently.

What is New York’s comparative negligence rule and how does it affect my case?

New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover damages even if you were partly at fault for the accident. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you recover $80,000. An attorney can work to minimize any fault attributed to you.

What are New York Labor Law Sections 240 and 241?

Sections 240 (the Scaffold Law) and 241 of the New York Labor Law impose strict liability on property owners and general contractors for elevation-related injuries and unsafe construction site conditions. These laws are unique to New York and provide injured workers with powerful legal protections that go beyond standard negligence claims, making them especially important in construction accident cases.
