Frequently asked questions

How many burn injury attorneys are listed in Herkimer, New York?

No firms are listed in Herkimer, New York yet. Attorneys in nearby cities and elsewhere in New York handle burn injury cases across the state — burn and fire cases are routinely litigated statewide rather than city by city.

How long do I have to file a burn injury 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.
