How We Evaluate Personal Injury Claims
Before deciding how to pursue a claim, we need to understand why the accident happened and how it affected you. A strong claim requires evidence connecting another party’s conduct to your injuries and resulting losses.
We also look at whether insurance coverage is available and whether another person or business may share responsibility. The answers can be very different in a vehicle crash, a fall on unsafe property, or an injury caused by a dog.
Once we understand the facts, we can explain what compensation may be available and what legal issues could affect your recovery.

How Car Accident Injury Claims Work in New York
New York’s no-fault system generally provides first-party benefits for basic economic losses after a covered motor vehicle accident, regardless of who caused the crash. A separate claim against an at-fault driver for non-economic losses such as pain and suffering generally requires a qualifying “serious injury” under New York Insurance Law.
New York also changed its comparative-fault rule for certain motor vehicle personal injury actions in 2026. In cases covered by the new provision, an injured person may be barred from recovering damages when their share of fault is greater than the fault of the person or people they are suing.
If an insurer claims you were primarily responsible for a crash, speak with a Farmingdale personal injury attorney before accepting its assessment.
What Losses Can Be Included in Your Claim?
Personal injury compensation is intended to address losses caused by the defendant’s conduct. The amount sought will depend on your injuries and how they have affected your finances and daily life.
Depending on the case, damages may include:
- Medical expenses.
- Lost wages.
- Reduced future earning ability.
- Rehabilitation and therapy expenses.
- Future treatment costs.
- Pain and suffering.
- Other accident-related financial losses.
We consider losses you have already experienced as well as future losses that can be supported by the evidence.
How Long Can You Wait to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
For many negligence-based personal injury actions in New York, you have three years to commence a lawsuit.
That period does not apply to every claim. The defendant and the type of case can change the deadline. Claims against certain public entities can also require notice within 90 days.
We recommend speaking with a personal injury lawyer in Farmingdale well before the filing period expires. Legal deadlines are only part of the concern. Waiting may also make it harder to obtain photographs, video, witness statements, and other evidence.
