It can depend on who the parties involved are, but generally in New York, you have 3 years from the date of accident.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.

Assuming the accident took place in NY, 3 years from the date of the accident. However, you only have 30 days to file your no-fault insurance application; no-fault pays your medical bills and lost wages.

3 years from the date of the accident, unless you are under under a legal form of incompetency

such as too under age,mental incompetency etc.

Then you add three years to the time of majority

or until someone is appointed as guardian, etc.
