-back to top In New York State, most personal injury cases have a three year Statute of Limitations calculated from the date of the accident. However, there are specialized cases with shorter time frames (i.e. medical malpractice – 2 1/2 years; wrongful death – 2 years). For example, if a motor vehicle accident occurred on April 10, 1999, the case must be put into suit by April 10, 2002.
