What Is Considered a Personal Injury Under New York Law?
In a legal context, a “personal injury” is any injury that causes physical or emotional harm to a human being. When you suffer a personal injury due to someone else’s negligence, New York law allows you to seek financial compensation for your losses from the at-fault party.

New York Fault Laws & Determining Liability
New York law requires that you prove the at-fault party’s negligence caused your injury to pursue financial recovery. In some personal injury cases, it’s reasonably clear who is at fault and who is entitled to compensation. In other cases, it can be difficult to determine who contributed to the injury and should be held responsible.
A skilled personal injury attorney can review your case and help determine fault using the following evidence:
- Police reports
- Surveillance videos
- Photos and videos from the accident scene
- Medical records
- Eyewitness testimony
- Expert witness statements
- Accident reconstruction
Time Limits for New York Personal Injury Lawsuits
Like all states, New York sets strict time limits on your ability to file personal injury lawsuits in civil court. There is a three-year time limit for most types of personal injury lawsuits in New York. This three-year window typically begins on the date when the injury occurs. However, there are several exceptions under special circumstances. That is why it’s important to hire a New York personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
If you attempt to file your lawsuit after the deadline, the court most likely will dismiss your case. The best way to be sure that you don’t miss crucial deadlines and your injury case remains on track is to hire an experienced injury lawyer to represent you.
