Your Expert Long Island Injury Lawyer

In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years from the date of injury. However, some cases have shorter deadlines — medical malpractice claims are generally 2.5 years, and claims against a government entity may require a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Contact our office promptly to preserve your rights.

New York is a no-fault insurance state, meaning your own insurance pays for your initial medical bills and lost wages regardless of who caused the accident. However, you may still sue the at-fault driver for serious injuries — including significant disfigurement, fractures, or permanent limitation of a body organ — under New York's "serious injury" threshold.

Our firm works on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win your case. There are no upfront costs, no hourly fees, and no hidden charges. We only collect a percentage of your settlement or verdict. If we don't recover, you owe us nothing.

Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may recover medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may also recover funeral expenses and loss of companionship.

We strongly advise against giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters before speaking with an attorney. Insurance companies are focused on minimizing your payout. A simple phone call can inadvertently harm your claim. Call our office first — consultations are free and confidential.
