New York State Injury Law: New State Case Law and how Pre Settlement Cash Advances are Affected?
The statute of limitations for personal injury suits in New York is 36 months from the date of the accident. The plaintiff has 36 months to file a lawsuit naming those responsible who have caused harm. After this period of time, it would be extremely rare that any legal venue in New York State would allow a case to be filed. Any chance for the injuried party to receive a settlement for damages would be unlikely. Although, there are certian statues for those who have been harmed as result of negligence by a government agency or offical. Under these circumstances, the plaintiff has 90 days to file a formal claim against the governement agency responsible in New York, and 12 months to submitt and file a complaint. Personal injury victums also have 90 days to place against the New York state agency on notice that they plan on offically filing in court claim if they cannot determine the actual damages they have suffered (for exmaple if the plaintiff has not yet completed medial treatment) during the statue if limitations as described.
Overview of Negligence in New York State Accident or Injury Claims
Negligence is a term used to characterize conduct that creates an unreasonable risk of harm to others. New York has adopted the concept of contributory negligence is used to characterize conduct that creates an unreasonable risk to one’s self. The idea is that an individual has a duty to act as a reasonable person. When a person does not act this way and injury occurs, that person may be held entirely or partially responsible for the resulting injury, even though another party was involved in the accident. Under this jurisdiction, a judge or jury assigns a percentage of responsibility to each party, which determines the monetary value they are entitled to. Traditionally, the courts viewed contributory negligence as a total bar to the recovery of any damages. Under the traditional view, if a person had contributed to the accident in any way, the person was not entitled to compensation for his or her injuries. In an attempt to reduce the harsh, oftentimes unfair outcomes resulting from this approach, most states have now adopted a comparative negligence approach.
