FAQ

Car accidents in New York often result in substantial financial compensation. However, settlement amounts can vary widely. The U.S. Department of Justice noted a median compensatory damages award of $287,628 for personal injury trials in New York.

The general statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits in New York is three years from the date of injury. Failure to file your personal injury claim before the governing deadline passes will result in it being dismissed in court.

The most effective way to communicate with a personal injury lawyer is to be clear and honest. That is to say that a client should speak with the attorney in a frank and candid way about the details of the case in a manner that is not overly complex.

New York does not impose any statutory caps or limits on damages for pain and suffering. There is no specific dollar amount that acts as a hard limit on damages for pain and suffering. This means your damages may be as great as you see fit, at least within reason.

Some cases can be resolved in claim, which is early on in the process and before a lawsuit is started. Even these cases can take a minimum of 6 months up to 1 year or more to settle because, as discussed above, you must have a good idea about the injured person's recovery.

You must wait 30 days after filing a notice of claim and comply with the hearing demand before filing a lawsuit in court. Thereafter, lawsuits must be filed in court within 1 year and 90 days of the date of the incident.

As we mentioned, in most cases, the statute of limitations in Ohio allows you (the injured party) up to two years from the date the injury occurred to file a lawsuit against the negligent party.

The law, in Ohio, Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10 (A), states that most personal injury claims, including those arising from car accidents, must be filed within two years of when the cause of action occurred. This means that there is a two-year time frame starting from the date of negligence or discovery.
