Under New York law, a personal injury claim is governed by NY CPLR Article 14-A, which establishes a pure comparative fault system. This means your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still recover damages even if you are 99% at fault. For auto accident cases, you must meet the “serious injury” threshold under Insurance Law § 5102 to recover non-economic damages like pain and suffering. The statute of limitations is generally three years for personal injury and two years for wrongful death. If a municipality is involved, a Notice of Claim must be filed within 90 days. Cases are filed in Wyoming County Supreme Court, which has unlimited jurisdiction over damages.
For the official text of the comparative fault statute, see NY CPLR Article 14-A (official New York State Senate). For court procedures, visit the Wyoming County Supreme Court website.
