If you or a loved one has suffered an injury in a car accident, it is imperative that you seek the counsel of an experienced car accident attorney before the statute of limitations expires if you wish to file a car accident lawsuit. The statute of limitations is the time limit that New York state puts on filing a lawsuit for a car accident injury. The New York statute of limitations for car accident injuries is typically 3 years, though this can vary if a minor is involved or if the car crash involved a municipality, such as a police vehicle, fire engine, ambulance, or is the result of defective road lighting.
