Identifying Liable Parties for Brain Injury Claims in New York
Brain injuries could be caused by various types of accidents and incidents. The way your brain injury occurred will determine who is at fault for your damages. For instance, if your traumatic brain injury was caused by a drunk driving car accident, the drunk driver, social hosts, a bar or restaurant that overserved alcohol (termed a “Dram Shop” action,) and other third parties could share fault.
Alternatively, if your brain injuries occurred in a slip and fall accident, the property owner where the accident occurred could be to blame. Only a thorough investigation into the cause of your brain injuries will uncover the truth.
Identifying the liable party is a crucial step in your case.

Our Brain Injury Lawyer Works For You on Contingency
We understand that during this challenging time, you may be hesitating to obtain legal representation because of cost concerns. But our services cost nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid when we win your case. We collect our fees from a percentage of the insurance claim or court award you receive.
In addition, you can talk to us about your case during a free initial consultation, and we will explain how payment works in detail. When you hire our firm to serve as your legal advocate, we will put the above terms regarding our fees in writing so you can rest assured that there will not be any surprise costs or hidden fees.
New York Brain Injury Lawsuit Filing Deadlines
York law gives you only three years from the date you suffered your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover compensation. Wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years of your loved one’s passing. (Please note, a shorter statute of limitations may apply to your case. We will gladly discuss this with you in a free, no-obligation case review. We’ll let you know what deadlines apply to your situation and suggest what our more than 30 years of experience indicates are your best options to recover everything you deserve.)
Once the deadline in your case expires, you won’t be able to file a lawsuit, and your opportunity to recover compensation for your brain injury will have passed.
It is important to keep in mind that evidence to support your case, such as dashboard camera footage, video surveillance, witness statements, or other time-sensitive evidence, may only be available for a short period of time. It cannot be overemphasized how important it is to start working on your case as soon as possible to avoid having your compensation limited. The sooner you reach out to us, the greater our ability to win the best possible case result on your behalf.
You could avoid complications and disappointments resulting from missing the applicable statute of limitations and other important deadlines by working with a brain injury attorney from our team from the start.
