You Have a Limited Amount of Time to File
We want to stress up front that state law limits the amount of time you have to begin a lawsuit. While suing the at-fault party is not always necessary, it’s crucial to preserve your right to do so.
This will give you another chance to seek compensation if an insurance company denies your claim or makes an unacceptably low settlement offer. It also gives our team leverage in settlement negotiations. If an injured claimant’s attorney shows that a bona fide case has been well prepared for trial, many insurers would rather settle than risk the time and expense of going to court.
The precise deadline in your case depends on which statute of limitations applies. For example, New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214 applies to most negligence cases against private (i.e., non-governmental,) individuals or entities, and Estates, Powers & Trusts § 5-4.1 applies to most cases where the claim is for wrongful death. Suing a government agency will most likely require adherence to a shorter filing window.
As soon as you hire us, we will get started and protect your right to sue. Acting quickly also gives our team as much time as possible to compile evidence for your case.
