Statute of Limitations for Parking Lot and Parking Garage Accidents in New York
In New York, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including those stemming from parking lot accidents, is typically three years. However, there are exceptions to this. This means that individuals who have been injured in parking lot accidents generally have one to three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit looking for compensation for their injuries. When a public parking lot or garage is involved, a Notice of Claim must be filed within 90 days.
The specific length of the statute of limitations can vary depending on several factors, including the nature of the claim, the extent of the injuries, and the identity of the defendant. For instance, claims against government entities may have shorter deadlines and different procedural requirements compared to claims against private individuals or businesses.
