Frequently asked questions

How many firms are listed in Hempstead, New York?

No firms are listed in Hempstead, New York yet. Claims over scald burns, like other burn and fire cases, are routinely litigated statewide rather than city by city, so a firm based elsewhere in New York can generally take a Hempstead case.

How long do I have to file a scald burns lawsuit in New York?

The New York statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is 3 years (N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 214(5)). Claims against a government body usually run on a much shorter separate notice deadline. Missing either one generally ends the claim regardless of its merits, so the filing date matters more than almost any other early decision.
