If you’re here, chances are you were involved in a truck accident. I hope you’re getting the medical attention you need for your injuries. Clients often ask me, “How long do I have to file a claim?” There’s more than one type of claim relevant to truck accident cases. You have your no-fault claim. That’s the insurance company that’s going to cover your lost wages and your medical expenses. You have to file your application for no-fault benefits as a general rule within 30 days.Now, you have a bodily injury claim to collect for what’s called your pain and suffering. For a private individual, private corporation, private entity, you have three years to bring a claim or settle. However, if it’s a municipal entity, let’s say it’s a Department of Sanitation truck from the City of New York, you have a year and 90 days. It’s important that you hire competent counsel, an attorney in New York who can guide you through the process and make sure that these filing deadlines are met.
