Understanding New York’s Statutes of Limitations for Bus Accident Cases
You have a limited window of opportunity to file your lawsuit in the state of New York. Accordingly:
- The statute of limitations to file a personal injury claim is generally three years, according to New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214
- The wrongful death statute of limitations is generally two years, according to Estates, Powers & Trusts § 5-4.1
The filing deadline may vary based on the specific details of your accident. It is important to note that the statutes cited as examples above may not apply to your case and an even shorter statute of limitations may govern your claim. The best way to avoid missing or miscalculating the statute of limitations is to let us handle it. We will file your bus accident lawsuit on time and in the right venue.
