New York City recorded approximately 91,000 traffic crashes and 253 traffic fatalities in 2024, according to NYPD and NYC DOT data. Brooklyn led all five boroughs in total crashes and injuries, while the Bronx consistently records among the highest fatality rates per capita. Beyond auto accidents, thousands of New Yorkers are hurt every year in slip and falls, construction accidents, and medical negligence at hospitals across the five boroughs. Insurance companies in New York are experienced, well-funded, and built to pay you as little as possible. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
New York's dangers go far beyond its streets. From the congested corridors of the Cross Bronx Expressway and the Bruckner Interchange to slip and fall risks on Fordham Road and poorly maintained properties in Hunts Point, Mott Haven, and East Tremont — injury happens everywhere here. Our office is on East 204th Street in the Bronx. We are not parachuting into this community. We work here. Hospitals like Lincoln Medical Center in the South Bronx, Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, and Jacobi Medical Center in the Northeast Bronx serve the communities where our clients live. Those accidents cause real damage to New York families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Insurance companies operating across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics against New York families who are already stretched thin. New York's no-fault system and the serious injury threshold are used as weapons against injured people every day — designed to limit what they can recover. We know how to leverage the justice system in Bronx County Supreme Court and across New York courts to fight back for what you may be owed.
IMPORTANT NEW YORK LEGAL INFORMATION
Statute of Limitations: 3 years from date of injury. Wrongful death: 2 years. Medical malpractice: 2.5 years.
Government Entity Deadline (Critical): If the MTA, City of New York, NYCTA, or any municipal agency was involved, you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days or your case may be permanently barred.
No-Fault Insurance: New York is no-fault. After a car accident, file with your own insurer first. To sue for pain and suffering, injuries must meet the serious injury threshold.
Comparative Negligence: Pure comparative negligence. Recover even if partly at fault. Award reduced by fault percentage.
Insurance Minimums: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident minimum bodily injury coverage.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies may make early low offers because they count on most people not knowing what their case is actually worth. They may delay, deny, and lowball — counting on financial pressure to push you into a quick settlement. New York cases can benefit from favorable jury environments and no caps on pain and suffering. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the full recovery.
