Frequently asked questions

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

This directory lists 1 firm serving Rochester, New York. Listing facts come from firm websites or from the firms themselves.

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.
