Understanding Personal Injury Law in New York

A personal injury claim arises when someone is harmed by the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another party. At the heart of every case are two legal components: liability and damages.

Types of Personal Injury Claims We Handle:

Negligence

Most cases are based on a breach of the duty of care. For example, a driver failing to stop at a red light.

Strict Liability

Common in defective product cases, where manufacturers and designers can be held liable regardless of intent.

Intentional Acts

Including assault, battery, and other wrongful conduct, even if criminal charges are also filed.

Why Act Quickly?

Time is critical in personal injury cases. New York law imposes strict statutes of limitations:

General personal injury cases: Must be filed within three years of the date of the injury.
Claims against government entities: A notice of claim must be filed within 90 days, with the lawsuit filed within one year and 90 days.

If you miss these deadlines, you may lose your right to compensation. That’s why it’s essential to contact Held & Hines LLP as soon as possible after an injury.
