New York’s Statute of Limitations Means Your Right to Sue Can Expire
Your right to seek recoverable damages from the at-fault party after a truck accident has a state-mandated time limit. Nassau County follows New York’s state laws to determine how much time you have to file a lawsuit. Accordingly:- New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214 determines the filing deadline for a personal injury lawsuit. However, If a government agency, a municipality, or a public authority are potentially at-fault, a significantly shorter statute of limitations and an even shorter claim notice period would likely apply. We will analyze this in our case review.
- Estates, Powers & Trusts § 5-4.1 determines the filing deadline for a wrongful death statute of limitations.
