Frequently Asked Questions About New York Personal Injury Claims

Q: Do I have to pay my medical bills while my personal injury case is ongoing?
A: In many cases, yes — but our New York personal injury attorneys can often help. We may work with medical providers to delay collection, negotiate medical liens, or coordinate billing so you can focus on recovery while your case is pending.

Q: What if I’m self-employed or paid in cash — can I still recover lost wages?
A: Yes. Self-employed individuals, independent contractors, and cash-paid workers can still recover lost income. Our attorneys work with financial and vocational experts to analyze tax returns, bank records, invoices, and business documents to accurately prove lost earnings and reduced earning capacity.

Q: Can I recover compensation for future medical treatment and long-term care?
A: Absolutely. If your injuries require ongoing care, physical therapy, future surgery, or long-term treatment, our New York personal injury attorneys will include projected future medical costs in your claim. We work with medical professionals to ensure these expenses are properly documented and valued.

Q: How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York?
A: In most cases, New York law allows three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, cases involving government entities, medical malpractice, or wrongful death may have much shorter deadlines. Speaking with an attorney as soon as possible helps protect your rights.
