How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in New York?

In New York, the statute of limitations for many motorcycle accident injury claims is generally three years from the date of the crash under CPLR § 214. If the crash caused a fatality, a wrongful death claim is generally subject to a two-year deadline from the date of death under EPTL § 5-4.1. Claims involving a government vehicle, public roadway defect, or municipal employee may require a Notice of Claim within 90 days, so it is important to act quickly.
