How to File an Injury Lawsuit in New York

You can make a claim for compensation for injuries that were caused by the negligence of a third party.

Each personal injury case is distinct and it's impossible for us to predict how the case will last.

However, there are a few typical legal landmarks you should be aware of as the case moves through the legal system.

The Complaint

A lawsuit starts by drafting a legal form called the Complaint. It describes your legal rights as well as the damages you're seeking and how the defendant(s) caused your injuries. It also includes the request for the date of trial.

The complaint is filed before the court and is served to the defendants. They are given a deadline to file an answer or other response. This is when they deny the allegations in the lawsuit and provide their defenses. Your lawyer may also mention a counterclaim or third party defendant at this point.


In the Complaint, your lawyer will cite existing law (including the laws and decisions of the courts in which the case is being processed and cases from other jurisdictions) in support of their arguments. This helps the judge to understand why you believe that the defendant is accountable for your injuries.

Then, we will prepare a Bill of Particulars. This is an official document that lists your injuries as well as their total expense, including the cost of medical bills, lost wages and other losses in money. We will also prepare an application for relief that details the compensation that you're seeking. The demand is dependent on the medical treatment you received and other evidence you've provided to your attorney. During the discovery phase, which comprises most of the lawsuit timeline both the defendant and we will exchange information using various legal tools like requests for admissions, interrogatories and requests for production of documents. We may also take depositions of doctors and experts.

The Claim Notice

New York law imposes special rules for cases against municipalities and other government entities. These requirements include strict deadlines for filing of a claim, as well as strict statutes of limitations under which a lawsuit can be brought. In these situations it is essential to seek out a reputable injury lawyer.

The first step in a claim against a municipality, or any other governmental entity is filing a Notice of Claim. This document must be submitted in writing and notarized. It identifies the person making the claim, and provides enough information about the incident or accident to help the city agency understand who is responsible for the damages, injuries and losses. It also provides the amount of the claim.

After the City has received this claim, it will acknowledge receipt and assign a claim number to it. An examiner from the Comptroller's Office will be assigned to examine your claim and require additional information from you or other sources. If you contact the City about your claim, the city will ask you to provide your claim number and name of the investigator assigned your case. The investigator will determine if the City is responsible for your losses and, if they are the amount you are entitled to under the law. If you are unable to reach an agreement with the city and the city, your case will go to trial.

The Discovery Phase

The Discovery Phase is an important element of any lawsuit as it allows you obtain information and proof about the other party. It can be done by a variety of methods by writing requests (called"discovery letters") and subpoenas. The process of discovery can help you build an argument that is convincing and be successful in your case.

The first step in the discovery phase is to analyze the market. This is performed by a team comprised of experienced project managers who analyze the market and competitors to determine its latest trends, the most effective solutions for your app and how to implement them effectively.

This research also includes interviews with all stakeholders that can be a factor in the success of your project. This includes the owners of the product and administrators and investors, end-users and users. The analysis of the data from these sources will help your team identify the key goals of your project as well as determine how to measure its success.
