Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

notice of claim

my home sustained severe damage due to neglect of town sewage line that my home insurance will not cover because source was outside the house. I was told to submit a notice of claim and retain a lawyer if it goes to court, but non of the county or court clerks knows about it, and I am told there is a statue of limitations. What is in a notice of claim? Where can I get one? Can I write it in the form of a letter to the town?

Re: notice of claim

The notice of claim is a prerequisite to filing an action to recover your damages. Failing to file it properly and on time will bar your claim.

This is not a home game/sport - you should contact a qualified attorney in your area.
