New York’s Statute of Limitations
When you have been injured due to the negligence or recklessness of another party, you are likely to be faced with significant medical expenses and other financial burdens. A successful civil lawsuit can help you to obtain financial compensation for these and other considerations. But it can be challenging to prevail in such a case. It is important to ensure that you file your case before the statute of limitations expires. Failing will likely render legal action unavailable. New York’s statute of limitations varies based on what kind of claim you have. That’s why you should call us to discuss your case and ensure you don’t miss any important deadlines.

The statute of limitations varies according to the type of case that is being pursued.

The following are some of the pertinent statutes of limitations in New York:
- Medical malpractice – 2 years and 6 months from the date of the injury
- Wrongful death – 2 years past the date of the person’s death
