DEADLINE TO
FILE YOUR CLAIM

New York law sets strict deadlines for filing motorcycle accident claims. In most cases, you have three years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit under CPLR § 214. If this deadline is missed, your case can be permanently barred, regardless of its strength.

Some claims move much faster. Cases involving New York City or other government entities usually require a Notice of Claim within 90 days and a lawsuit filed within one year and 90 days. Other factors, such as how the crash happened, can also affect how much time you have.

Missing the deadline gives insurance companies and negligent drivers a clear path to avoid responsibility. Acting early protects your rights, preserves evidence and keeps your options open.
