Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury in New York

New York law generally allows only Three Years to file a personal injury claim. This deadline is critical to your rights because if you don’t get your lawsuit started in court before New York’s three-year filing window closes, you’ll lose your right to have your case heard.

Comparative Fault in Slip and Fall Cases

When the property owner argues that the slip and fall victim was partially or completely responsible for the accident, it falls under the legal concept of comparative fault. Comparative fault comprises two types of laws, comparative negligence, and contributory negligence. The one that applies to your case depends on the state in which you live. In states with contributory negligence laws, you cannot collect any damages if it is determined that you are even a little bit at fault for the accident.

States with comparative negligence laws are less harsh because they take the percentage of the slip and fall victim’s liability into account and award them damages based on that percentage. For example, if the victim was set to collect $1000 in damages, but it was determined that they were 50% responsible for the accident, they would collect $500 instead. New York is a comparative fault state, so you can still retain a slip and fall accident attorney in Long Island even if you were partially at fault for the accident.

If you were completely at fault for the accident, then a successful claim is far less likely, so you should consider if any of the following factors apply to your case:

  • Were you distracted and not paying attention when you encountered the situation that caused you to slip and fall?
  • Were you legally allowed to enter the place where the slip and fall accident happened, or was there a reasonable explanation for why you were there?
  • Were there clear warning signs informing people of the danger that was present?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you have a much lower chance of receiving compensation for the slip and fall accident.

What to do if you’ve been injured in an accident:

  1. Report your accident to the appropriate authorities ASAP. Whether this is the police, an employer, a store employee, or a supervisor. Get medical treatment for any injuries you have sustained, don’t “shake it off.” Some injuries, like traumatic brain injuries or internal injuries, can have delayed symptoms. The sooner you can receive medical attention, the better for your health and your case.
  2. Collect as much information as possible. You or someone you trust should attempt to get information from any involved parties. Important information can be the names of all parties involved and any eyewitnesses. If you were in a car crash, get the other driver’s insurance information too.
  3. Take photographs. Photograph the scene, your injuries, the causing factors of the accident, and anything you think may be relevant. If you were injured on someone’s property due to a dangerous condition, take photos of the dangerous condition.
  4. Get copies of all relevant documents. This can include police reports, incident reports, medical documents, and communications with insurance companies.

The more information you have about your case, the stronger your claim will be. If you were injured due to another’s carelessness, contact one of our experienced New York Personal Injury lawyers to learn more about filing a claim.
