Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

3 years from date of accident for negligence.

In New York, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is generally 3 years from the date of the incident. This time may be tolled or extended for infancy or mental incapacity. The statute may also vary from the 3 years depending on the type of claim involved. For example, it is 2 1/2 years for medical malpractice. It is always speak to speak to a New York personal injury lawyer before making any assumptions about this issue. Best wishes,

Ordinarily, three years, but there are several exceptions. Need to know more about the accident. Best, M.E. Zuller
