New York City’s roadways — the FDR Drive, the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, the Long Island Expressway and the Cross Bronx — combine heavy congestion with aging infrastructure. The city also has an exceptionally high volume of pedestrian, cyclist, e-bike and delivery-vehicle injuries, and construction accidents are a persistent source of catastrophic injury claims.
The Felicetti Law Firm represents New York clients in a wide range of injury matters, including:
If your situation is not listed here, it is still worth asking. Felicetti reviews New York injury claims at no charge, and there is no fee unless we recover compensation for you.
Most New York personal injury lawsuits must be filed within three years of the accident. Claims against the City of New York, the MTA or another public authority are far more urgent — a notice of claim generally must be served within 90 days, and the lawsuit itself is subject to a much shorter limitations period.
New York is a no-fault state. Your own insurance pays initial medical expenses and a portion of lost earnings regardless of fault, but there are strict filing requirements — a no-fault application generally must be submitted within 30 days of the accident. To sue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering, your injuries must meet the serious injury threshold under Insurance Law § 5102(d), which includes categories such as fracture, significant disfigurement, permanent consequential limitation and a 90/180-day disability.
On fault, New York applies pure comparative negligence. Your share of responsibility reduces your recovery but never eliminates it. New York also provides strong protections for injured construction workers under Labor Law §§ 200, 240 and 241, which can impose liability on owners and general contractors for gravity-related and code-violation injuries.
These deadlines are general rules and there are exceptions — claims involving minors, government entities, medical treatment or delayed discovery of an injury can follow a different timeline. The only reliable way to know which deadline applies to your case is to have it reviewed. Call the Felicetti Law Firm at (800) 333-1988 and we will tell you where you stand.
New York’s overlapping deadlines — 30 days for no-fault, 90 days for a municipal notice of claim, three years for most lawsuits — mean that a delay of a few weeks can permanently narrow your options. Felicetti can tell you quickly which clocks are running in your case.
The Felicetti Law Firm works on a contingency fee basis: consultations are free, and you owe no attorney fee unless we recover money on your behalf. We can help arrange medical care while your claim is pending, deal with the insurance adjusters on your behalf, and keep you informed at every stage. You can review some of the firm’s past case results on our results page.
