The Importance of New York Statutes in Personal Injury Claims

New York law sets clear deadlines that affect how and when you can file a personal injury claim. The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in New York is three years from the date of the incident. Acting within this window gives you the best chance to recover damages. Waiting too long may prevent you from bringing a case, no matter how strong your claim.

Court procedures in Queens County can also introduce unique complexities. Working with a personal injury lawyer in Richmond Hill who understands both local and state regulations ensures your case stays on track and avoids unnecessary delays.

  • "Respectful, Diligent & the Consummate Professional"
    I first met Jose when we were both starting out in our careers. I remained in touch and when he opened his own practice, I couldn't have been any happier for his success. So when I needed legal representation as I was closing on my condo, I wouldn't have gone to anyone else. He reviewed the prospectus and the contract. He brought me into the office to discuss my concerns, answered all of my questions, and sent me away feeling confident in my decisions. On the day of closing; he was prompt, paid attention to detail, and helped me through the lengthy process with ease. With his experience and patience, I was able to purchase my very first home. I still consult with him every now and then on various legal matters. But I am so glad I gave my business to Polanco & Associates when it came to making the biggest purchase of my life.

    We were in very serious car accident and we wanted an experienced personal injury attorney with proven trial records. A friend recommended Mr. Polanco to us. He listened to us and answers all of our questions. He took on the big insurance company, making sure our medical needs were taken care of and we were compensated considerably. Choosing Mr. Polanco to represent us was the best decision we made during this difficult time.
