How much time do you have to file a lawsuit in New York?
Personal Injury:
In New York, most personal injury claims based upon negligence have a statute of limitations of three (3) years from the date the injury occurred. For example, if you are involved in a car accident and sustain personal injuries you will generally have three years to file a lawsuit against the person or persons that you believe are responsible for the accident. This three-year deadline would also apply to many other types of negligence-based injury claims such as trip and falls or slip and falls. However, as noted below, the deadline to file a lawsuit may be shorter if the person or entity that caused the accident is a local or municipal government.
Exception:
It is important to note that when the party being sued is a local or municipal government such as the City of New York or a local town, the statute of limitations or deadline for bringing a lawsuit is significantly shorter and there are other requirements that must be fulfilled before a lawsuit can be filed. These shorter deadlines will apply if the person that caused the accident is an employee of a local or municipal government or if the property or condition where the accident occurred is owned by a local or municipal government.
Sidewalk Accidents:
Just as with a car accident, many sidewalk accidents, such as trip and falls on defects or slip and fall accidents due to slippery conditions such as snow, ice, water or other foreign substances, is generally three (3) years if the party responsible for the accident is a private individual or entity.
Wrongful Death:
Unfortunately, people are often killed due to injuries suffered in accidents. In such cases, the victim’s next of kin typically have two (2) years from the date of the death to file a wrongful death action.
Premises Liability:
The deadline for a premises liability case, such as an injury due to a dangerous condition on private property (a building, house, shopping mall, store, etc.) is typically three years from the date of injury.
Intentional Torts:
A person who has been injured due to the intentional act(s) of another person (for example, an assault and battery) has one year from the date of the intentional injury-producing act to file a lawsuit.

When I was injured, I received the best possible advice and representation at Rosenberg & Rodriguez. I would definitely recommend this firm to my family and friends. Our Personal Injury Process
From your first call to your final settlement, here’s how we guide you through every step of your case.
Step 1: Free Consultation & Case Evaluation
Your journey begins with a free, no-obligation consultation where we listen to your story and evaluate your claim. Whether you’ve suffered injuries from a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, slip and fall, or construction accident, our team will assess the details and explain your legal options. We offer Russian speaking personal injury consultations along with services in Spanish, Ukrainian, and other languages. During this meeting, we’ll answer your questions, discuss potential compensation, and determine the best path forward for your unique situation.
Step 2: Investigation & Evidence Gathering
Once you hire our firm, we immediately begin building your case. Our team collects police reports, medical records, witness statements, photographs, and surveillance footage relevant to your accident. For complex cases like rideshare accident claims involving Uber accident or Lyft accident situations, we analyze insurance policies and driver records. In pedestrian accident, bicycle accident, and vehicle collision cases, we work with accident reconstruction experts when necessary. This thorough investigation establishes liability and documents the full extent of your injuries.
Step 3: Medical Documentation & Treatment Coordination
Proper medical documentation is crucial to your personal injury claim. We help connect you with qualified physicians who understand how to treat and document injuries ranging from back injury and soft tissue damage to catastrophic injury cases involving spinal cord injury, brain injury, TBI, or severe burn injury. We monitor your treatment progress and gather comprehensive medical records that demonstrate the severity and long-term impact of your injuries. This documentation becomes essential evidence when calculating fair compensation for your claim.
Step 4: Negotiation & Demand for Compensation
After documenting your injuries and calculating damages, we prepare a detailed demand package and negotiate aggressively with insurance companies on your behalf. We pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs. In wrongful death and birth injury cases, we seek damages for families who have suffered devastating losses. Our attorneys refuse to accept lowball offers and leverage our trial experience to pressure insurers toward fair settlements that reflect the true value of your claim.
Step 5: Resolution or Trial
Most personal injury cases settle through negotiation, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. If insurance companies refuse to offer fair compensation for your car accident, construction accident, slip and fall, or other injury claim, we’re fully prepared to present your case before a jury. Our attorneys have extensive courtroom experience and a proven track record of success. Throughout this final stage, we keep you informed and involved, fighting relentlessly until you receive the justice and compensation you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about personal injury claims, your legal rights, and how our experienced attorneys can help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
What types of personal injury cases do we handle?
Our attorneys represent clients across a comprehensive range of personal injury matters. We handle vehicle-related claims including car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, bicycle accident, and pedestrian accident cases. We also take on rideshare accident claims involving Uber accident and Lyft accident situations, as well as slip and fall injuries, construction accident cases, and premises liability matters. For clients suffering life-altering harm, we pursue catastrophic injury cases involving spinal cord injury, brain injury, TBI, burn injury, and back injury. We also represent families in wrongful death and birth injury claims when negligence results in devastating loss.
Do you offer services in languages other than English?
Yes, Rosenberg & Rodriguez proudly serves New York’s diverse communities with multilingual legal services. We provide Russian speaking personal injury representation, along with assistance in Spanish, Ukrainian, Polish, Portuguese, Uzbek, and Farsi. Our multilingual staff ensures you can communicate comfortably in your native language throughout your entire case—from initial consultation through settlement or trial. We believe language should never be a barrier to obtaining justice, and our team is committed to making every client feel understood and supported regardless of their primary language.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Hiring Rosenberg & Rodriguez costs nothing upfront. We handle all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no fees unless we win your case. We advance all litigation costs, and our fee comes only from the settlement or verdict we obtain for you. To schedule your free consultation, give us a call or complete the contact form on our website. We offer meetings by phone, video conference, or in person at our offices throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Long Island.
What should I do immediately after a car accident or other vehicle collision?
After any accident, prioritize safety first. Call 911 if anyone is injured, move to a safe location when possible, and exchange information with other parties involved. Document the scene thoroughly with photographs, gather witness contact information, and seek medical attention promptly—even if injuries seem minor, as conditions like back injury or brain injury symptoms may develop later. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies before consulting an attorney. Then contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to protect your legal rights and preserve critical evidence for your claim.
How are Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare accident cases different from regular car accidents?
Rideshare accident cases are significantly more complex than standard car accident claims because multiple insurance policies may apply. Coverage depends on the driver’s status at the time of the crash—whether they were logged off, waiting for a request, en route to pick up a passenger, or actively completing a trip. Both Uber accident and Lyft accident claims require careful analysis to determine which policies provide coverage and how to maximize recovery. Our attorneys understand these layered insurance structures and know how to identify all available sources of compensation for injured passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers.
How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim, and how long do I have to file?
You may have a valid personal injury claim if someone else’s negligence caused your injuries—whether from a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, pedestrian accident, bicycle accident, slip and fall, construction accident, or any other incident where another party failed to exercise reasonable care. In New York, most personal injury claims must be filed within three years of the injury date. However, wrongful death cases have a two-year deadline, and claims against government entities require much shorter notice periods. Because evidence disappears and memories fade, contacting an attorney promptly strengthens your case and protects your right to compensation.
