What "free enquiry" actually means here
There is no consultation fee, no file-opening fee and no charge for reviewing your documents.
What happens in the call
- To ask about your situation, use the free enquiry form on this page or book a call. Personal Injury NYC is not a law firm, and an enquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship. It usually takes ten to twenty minutes.
- To ask about your situation, use the free enquiry form on this page or book a call. Personal Injury NYC is not a law firm, and an enquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship.
- Lawyers typically identify your deadlines — the 30-day no-fault filing, the 90-day notice of claim if a city vehicle or agency is involved, the 3-year lawsuit limit.
What to have handy (nothing is required)
The police report or report number, photos of the scene and your injuries, insurance details, names of any treating doctors or hospital, and anything the other side's insurer has already sent you.
When to call urgently rather than wait
An insurance adjuster wants a recorded statement
Call before you give it. Recorded statements are taken to limit your claim, not to help it.
You were hit by a bus, city vehicle or on public property
You may have only 90 days to serve a notice of claim. That deadline is enforced strictly.
There is camera footage of what happened
Most private and commercial systems overwrite within one to two weeks. Preservation letters have to go out now.
