New York Personal Injury Laws & Deadlines

New York follows a no-fault insurance system for motor vehicle accidents, requiring personal injury protection (PIP) coverage while limiting when injury victims can sue. The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in New York is three years from the date of injury, though claims against government entities have much shorter deadlines. New York's comparative negligence law allows recovery even if you're partially at fault, with damages reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
