Thanks for checking in.  You must know that there are strict time limits for filing injury claims in New York?  Sustaining an injury is a physically and emotionally challenging experience.   

In addition to recovering from the immediate trauma, there are obstacles that favor Insurance companies, which are designed to frustrate you from getting a timely and fair settlement.

In New York, the general statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years from the date of the injury. This includes claims for Car accidents and Truck accidents, Bike accidents, Motorcycle accidents, Slips and fall accidents, Construction accidents, Worker's Compensation accidents and many more types of claims.

Claims against government entities and agencies like the New York CIty Police Department, NYPD, Municipal Transportation Authority, MTA Buses and Subway are shorter. For example, you typically have only 90 days to file a Notice of Claim against the City of New York, before taking legal action.

Medical malpractice claims are generally two and a half years from the date of the alleged negligence or the date the injury was discovered.  For minors, the statute of limitations is usually paused until you turn 18.

The experienced attorneys at Aguwa & Metu are ready to help you and your loved ones understand your legal rights and ensure that all necessary steps are taken to meet the time limits for filing your claims.  For dedicated one on one help with all your injury claims, call 718 739-4444 now, for a free and confidential consultation.
