How Long do I Have to File a Lawsuit for a Car Accident?

Transcript: If you've been in an automobile accident, the law provides that you have up to 3 years to file a lawsuit. However, there are other valuable rights that will expire in a time period that's far less than the three years. Under New York state law you have only 30 days to claim your right to no-fault benefits. No-fault benefits include your lost earnings, your medical bills, and other incidental damages that are covered under the no fault provisions of the insurance policy. So the best thing to do is give me a call as soon as possible.
