Frequently Asked Questions About Civil Litigation In New York
Here are some frequently asked questions to help you better understand the civil litigation process and how we can assist you.
How long do you have to file a lawsuit in New York?
In New York, the time limit to file a lawsuit depends on the type of case. However, most civil cases, such as personal injury claims, need filing within three years from the date of the incident. We highly recommend you consult with us to discuss the specifics of your case to ensure compliance with these deadlines.
What’s the difference between a criminal and a civil case?
The key difference is their purpose. A criminal case deals with actions considered harmful to society, and the government prosecutes the defendant. A civil case resolves disputes between individuals or organizations where the plaintiff seeks compensation or another form of relief from the defendant.
What’s the time frame for a civil lawsuit?
The time it takes to resolve a civil lawsuit is highly variable. It depends on the case’s complexity, the amount of evidence, and the court’s availability. Some cases may reach a resolution in months, while others may take years to finish. We work diligently to streamline the process, aiming for the most timely resolution that benefits you.
