What Should I Do Immediately After Being Injured in an Accident in New York?
If you’ve been injured in an accident in New York, prioritize your safety and check yourself and others for injuries. Call 911 to report the accident and request medical assistance, even if injuries seem minor, as some may not be immediately apparent.
Follow any medical advice offered by medical professionals, whether on the scene or at a hospital. Follow all recommended treatments and keep detailed records of your medical care. If your personal injury claim needs to go to trial, records of your medical care can be used to determine your total damages and can also demonstrate that you took your injuries seriously. Most importantly, and this should go without saying, these treatments should help you recover and move on with your life.
At the scene of the accident, if you are able, use your phone to capture photos and videos of the accident scene, including vehicle damage, road conditions, visible injuries, traffic signals, and anything else that may be relevant to your case. Exchange contact and insurance information with the other party involved. Collect names, phone numbers, and statements from witnesses who saw the accident.
Next, file a police report. A police report serves as an official record of the incident, which can be critical evidence when filing your claim. Be truthful and stick to the facts when speaking to officers.
Then, report the accident to your insurer. Be honest but avoid admitting fault or making statements that could be used against you later.
Finally, speak to a personal injury lawyer at Morgan & Morgan. Contacting an experienced personal injury attorney early in the process can help protect your rights, gather evidence, and navigate the complexities of filing a claim. An attorney will ensure you meet New York’s legal deadlines, including the two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims.
Morgan & Morgan offers free case evaluations to explain your rights and guide you through the next steps.

How Do I Know if I Have a Case Under New York Law?
If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, you might be entitled to compensation. We want to ensure that everyone has access to information and the ability to get justice, so you can simply contact Morgan & Morgan for a free case evaluation to learn more about your legal options. Our team can review the details of your situation and advise you on the best course of action.
To have a valid personal injury claim, you generally need to prove that another party’s negligence caused your injuries. This includes demonstrating the following elements:
Duty of Care: The other party had a legal obligation to act in a certain way (e.g., driving safely, maintaining safe premises).
Breach of Duty: The other party failed to meet that duty of care through their actions or inactions (e.g., speeding, failing to fix a hazard).
Causation: There must be a direct link between the breach of duty and your injuries. You need to show that their actions were the actual cause of your harm.
Damages: You suffered actual damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or other losses as a result of the accident.
The best way to determine if you have a valid case is to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney. They can help you evaluate the specifics of your situation, gather and analyze evidence, understand your rights and options under New York law, and guide you through the legal process.
How Long After an Injury in New York Can I File My Claim?
In New York, New York, the time frame to file a personal injury claim is governed by New York's statute of limitations. Statutes of limitations vary depending on the type of case and the state in which the injury occurred.
In New York, you typically have three years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim. This applies to most types of personal injury cases, including car accidents, slip and falls, and other incidents involving negligence. It’s essential to file your claim within this timeframe, as missing the deadline can bar you from pursuing compensation.
While three years is the standard period, there are exceptions that may affect the timeline:
Discovery Rule: In some cases, such as medical malpractice, the clock may start when you discover or reasonably should have discovered the injury, rather than the date of the incident.
Minors and Incapacitated Individuals: If the injured party is a minor or legally incapacitated, the statute of limitations may be tolled (paused) until the individual reaches 18 or their capacity is restored.
Claims Against Government Entities: If you are filing a claim against a city or state agency, you must adhere to specific notice requirements and shorter deadlines, often requiring a notice of claim to be filed within 90 days of the incident.
Filing your claim within the statute of limitations is critical. New York courts are strict about these deadlines, and exceptions are rarely granted. Missing the deadline means you generally lose your right to pursue compensation, regardless of the merits of your case.

What Sort of Compensation Can I Recover From a New York Personal Injury Case?
Compensation can vary widely depending on the specifics of your case, but generally, it could include:
Medical Expenses
You could recover the costs of medical treatment related to your injury, including hospital bills, doctor visits, surgery, physical therapy, prescription medications, and any future medical care you may need.
Lost Wages
If your injury has caused you to miss work, you may be compensated for lost wages. This includes not only the income you have already lost but also any future earnings you may be unable to earn due to your injury.
Pain and Suffering
Compensation for pain and suffering addresses the physical pain and emotional distress caused by your injury. This could include compensation for chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and reduced quality of life.
Property Damage
If your personal property was damaged as a result of the incident, you might be entitled to compensation for repair or replacement costs. This often applies to cases involving car accidents, where vehicle damage is a significant factor.
Loss of Consortium
In some cases, your spouse or family members may be entitled to compensation for the loss of companionship, support, and services resulting from your injury.
Punitive Damages
In cases where the defendant's actions were particularly egregious or reckless, you might be awarded punitive damages. These are intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.
Disability and Disfigurement
If your injury has resulted in a long-term or permanent disability or disfigurement, you may be entitled to compensation for the impact on your ability to work and perform everyday activities, as well as the emotional toll of such changes.
Other Related Expenses

What Happens After I Submit My Personal Injury Claim in New York?
After you submit your personal injury claim in New York, the insurance company for the at-fault party will review it. The insurer will assign a claims adjuster to your case, who will investigate the details of the accident, review documentation, and evaluate the extent of your injuries. The adjuster may collect evidence such as police reports, medical records, witness statements, and any other relevant information to assess liability and damages.
The insurance company will thoroughly review all submitted documentation, including medical records, accident reports, and any other evidence. They may contact witnesses, seek expert opinions, or even conduct site visits to better understand the incident.
After gathering evidence, the insurance adjuster will evaluate your claim based on a liability assessment and a damage calculation. Based on their evaluation, the insurance company will typically extend a settlement offer. This offer may be lower than what you might expect or need. It’s essential to review this offer carefully, as it may not fully account for all your damages. If the initial offer is unsatisfactory, your Morgan & Morgan personal injury attorney can negotiate on your behalf to pursue a fair settlement that reflects the true value of your claim.
Negotiations can involve back-and-forth communication between your attorney and the insurance adjuster. Your attorney may present a counteroffer based on your assessment of damages, leading to further discussions until a mutually acceptable agreement is reached. If negotiations do not lead to a satisfactory settlement, you may need to file a lawsuit.
Will My Personal Injury Case in New York Go to Trial or Settle Out of Court?
Many personal injury cases are resolved through settlements before reaching trial. Settling out of court can be a quicker, less stressful, and more cost-effective way to resolve a case depending on the facts of the case.
However, whether your case will settle or go to trial depends on several factors, including the strength of the evidence, the willingness of the other party to negotiate, and your own preferences. At Morgan & Morgan, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial to ensure we are ready to fight for the maximum compensation possible. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, our attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to court.
How Long Does a Personal Injury Lawsuit in New York Take to Resolve?
The duration of a personal injury lawsuit varies depending on the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries, and the willingness of the parties to reach a settlement. Some cases may be resolved in a matter of months, while others can take years, especially if they go to trial.
At Morgan & Morgan, our attorneys work diligently to move your case forward as efficiently as possible while ensuring no corners are cut. We will provide you with an estimated timeline based on the specifics of your case and keep you informed of any changes. To learn more, get a free case evaluation today.
