How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York?
As of May 27, 2026, motor vehicle accident cases in New York use a modified comparative negligence rule: if you are found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages. If you’re 50% or less at fault, your compensation is reduced proportionally. This is a recent change — accidents that occurred before that date are evaluated under the prior “pure” comparative negligence rule, which had no fault-based bar. For non-vehicle cases, like slip and fall, New York’s pure comparative negligence rule still applies.
