Truck Accident Lawyer in Yonkers, NY

Hurt in a crash with a commercial truck in Yonkers, NY? Truck claims can involve the driver, the carrier, and their insurers, and two state rules shape every claim: the filing deadline and how fault is shared.

  • Deadline: New York generally allows 3 years to file an injury lawsuit (NY C.P.L.R. § 214).
  • Fault rule: New York car-crash cases filed on or after May 26, 2026: recovery is reduced by your share of fault and barred if your fault is greater than the other side's (CPLR 1411(b)). Other New York injury claims keep pure comparative fault. (CPLR § 1411(b))
