3 years
New York generally allows 3 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically means losing your right to seek compensation. Because pre-settlement funding requires an active lawsuit, ensure your claim is filed within this window.
Pure comparative negligence
Under New York's pure comparative negligence system, you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault. Your award is reduced by your percentage of responsibility. This plaintiff-friendly rule means even cases with shared fault may qualify for pre-settlement funding.
New York enacted the Consumer Litigation Funding Act (effective June 17, 2026), capping funding fees at 25% of gross recovery and requiring DFS registration. New York is also a no-fault auto insurance state where plaintiffs must meet a 'serious injury' threshold to pursue tort claims. This is an important factor that our underwriting team considers when evaluating cases from New York. Understanding your state's legal landscape helps you set realistic expectations for both your case outcome and funding amount.
