Damages in a Garbage Truck Accident Case

Elements of Liability

Recovering compensation for your damages may require proving that the responsible party’s negligence caused your accident. Morelli Law Firm can help you collect evidence of the following elements of negligence when we represent you:

  • The defendant owed you a duty of care.
  • The defendant breached this duty of care.
  • This breach caused you to suffer an injury.
  • This injury caused you financial losses.

Evidence of these elements may convince a judge or an insurance company to award you compensation for your damages.

The Deadlines to Sue in New York

Typically, the first option for financial recovery in a car accident case is an insurance settlement. However, if an insurance company refuses to make you a fair offer, you may file a lawsuit against them and take your case to trial. Accordingly, it is important to know New York’s time limits on lawsuits as you head into your case.

New York Civil Practice Law & Rules (CVP) §214 sets a general three-year statute of limitations on personal injury lawsuits. For wrongful death lawsuits, New York Estates, Powers & Trusts (EPT) §5-4.1 sets a general two-year statute of limitations.

In either case, letting the deadline in your case expire before taking legal action could result in a judge dismissing your case and you losing the ability to compel the responsible party to pay for your damages via a lawsuit.

To learn more about what specific deadlines pertain to your case, call Morelli Law Firm today.
