A lawyer can help build strong arguments for your case in a Nassau County motorcycle accident claim, but you must act quickly to protect your rights. According to New York Civil Practice Law & Rules (CVP) §214(4), in most cases, you will have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit.
In cases of fatal motorcycle accidents, according to New York law, you have two years from the date of the death to file a wrongful death claim. In New York, you will need to appoint a representative of the estate to file a claim.
It’s important to allow your injury attorney plenty of time to build the strongest possible case for your compensation after a motorcycle wreck. The sooner you get started, the stronger your evidence will be, as over time evidence can be lost and witness memories can fade.
