Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer after a car accident in New York?

Not every car accident requires legal representation. However, if you suffered serious injuries, fault is disputed, or the insurance company is pushing back, speaking with a lawyer can be critical. An attorney can protect your rights, gather evidence, and pursue full compensation for your injuries and losses.

What if the insurance company already contacted me?

Insurance companies often contact accident victims early to obtain statements or encourage quick settlements. You are not required to give a recorded statement without legal advice. Speaking with an attorney first can help prevent statements from being used to reduce or deny your claim.

How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in New York?

In most cases, New York law allows three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Claims involving government vehicles or public entities may have much shorter deadlines, sometimes as little as 90 days, so it is important to act quickly.

Can I recover compensation if I was partially at fault?

Yes. New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule. This means you may still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident. However, your total recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

What compensation can I recover after a car accident?

Depending on the circumstances of your case, compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, future care costs, and property damage. The amount available depends on the severity of your injuries and the evidence supporting your claim.
