Statute of Limitations
In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases, including car accidents, slip and falls, and construction accidents, is generally three years from the date of the injury. For medical malpractice, the statute of limitations is typically two years and six months from the date of the negligent act or from the end of continuous treatment by the provider for the same condition.
Claims against New York City or other government entities have much shorter timelines: a Notice of Claim must be filed within 90 days, and a lawsuit usually within one year and 90 days. Missing these deadlines can permanently bar recovery, so it’s critical to act quickly.

Local NYC Insight That Builds Stronger Injury Claims
New York City is unlike any other place. It’s dense, fast-paced, and filled with both opportunities and risks. Our local knowledge helps us build stronger, more informed cases for our clients.
Serving All Five Boroughs
Friedman, Levy, Goldfarb, Green & Bagley, P.C., represents clients in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Each borough has its own court procedures, judges, jury pools, and accident trends shaped by its neighborhoods and industries. Our familiarity with these differences, whether dealing with a construction accident in Manhattan, a traffic collision in Queens, or a premises liability case in the Bronx, allows us to approach every case with context that truly matters.
Frequent Locations for Accidents
In a city as active as New York, accidents can occur in public spaces where foot traffic, vehicles, and infrastructure intersect.
NYC accidents can happen in and around:
- Subway stations at rush hour, especially Grand Central Station, Borough Hall, 125th Street, and 86th Street.
- Crowded sidewalks and busy intersections, including Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, Atlantic Avenue and Court Street, and Columbus Circle
- Tourist destinations and entertainment venues, including Times Square, Broadway theaters, and Madison Square Garden
- Parking garages, where poor lighting, tight spaces, and inattentive drivers can create serious hazards
- Construction zones and scaffolding sites, where falling debris, unstable structures, and inadequate safety measures often put pedestrians at risk
- Public parks and recreational areas such as Central Park, Prospect Park, and Flushing Meadows
NYC Building Code and Liability
Property owners in New York City have a legal duty to keep stairwells, walkways, sidewalks, and other areas in reasonably safe condition. The law sets out specific requirements and violations of these codes, which can play a central role in determining liability when someone is injured.
For example, under the NYC Administrative Code § 16-123, property owners must remove snow and ice from sidewalks within four hours after snowfall ends, or take reasonable measures to make the area safe until removal is possible.

How We Can Make a Difference in Your NYC Personal Injury Case
If you’ve never dealt with the legal system, you may feel confused or overwhelmed. But you don’t have to navigate the process alone.
Some of the meaningful ways our firm can make a difference in your case include:
- Free Consultation. We listen to your story and explain your rights and legal options. This no-pressure conversation is designed to help you understand whether you have a case.
- Investigation. Strong personal injury cases depend upon facts. We routinely work with other third-party experts, such as medical professionals, forensic experts, and private investigators, who can conduct a detailed investigation and produce an independent analysis of your accident. We also begin gathering evidence, such as medical records, witness statements, accident reports, and photographs, to support your claim.
- Settlement Negotiations. Insurance companies’ first settlement offers are typically far below the costs and expenses incurred by the injured parties. Most insurance companies place a low dollar value on pain and suffering. Our personal injury lawyers know how to negotiate with an insurance company so that you receive fair compensation based on your injuries and prognosis. While most claims are settled, we will take your case to trial if the insurance company fails to agree to a reasonable amount.
Trial readiness gives your case leverage. We believe all New Yorkers deserve competent, trustworthy, and aggressive legal representation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my personal injury case worth in NYC?
The value of your claim depends on many factors, including the type and severity of the injury and the impact on your ability to work, care for yourself and others, and enjoy a good quality of life. Our attorneys will provide a clearer picture after reviewing the specifics of your case.
Can I still recover if I was partially at fault?
Yes. New York follows a comparative negligence rule. That means you may still recover damages even if you were partially responsible. However, your compensation will be reduced proportionally based on your percentage of fault.
How do I pay my medical bills after an accident?
In many cases, no-fault insurance after a motor vehicle accident or your own health insurance may cover initial expenses after an injury. We can help coordinate your benefits and communicate with your providers while your case is pending.
When should I call an NYC personal injury lawyer?
It’s generally helpful to speak with a lawyer shortly after an accident. If you wait too long, collecting evidence and meeting legal deadlines becomes more complex. We’re here to talk when you’re ready.
