Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

Automobile Accident

My friend was in a car accident about four years ago. The car that hit her cut off the car that she was in. She was hurt but was not compensated for her pain and suffereing. She saw a lawyer three years ago, but he did not take it to court. Since it was over three years ago, is she still able to sue? She still has all of the paperwork and pictures of the accident.

Thank you
