DO NOT FORFEIT YOUR RIGHT TO BRING A CLAIM.
Under New York law, ordinary negligence causes of action are subject to a three-year statute of limitations (time limit to bring a claim) from the date of the incident. However, if the claimant is a minor, the statute of limitations is tolled until the minor reaches the age of 18, meaning they have until their 21st birthday to file a claim.
