Personal injury representation across New York
New York is a full service state for Kelleher Law. Whether you were hit on the I-90 Thruway, the Scajaquada or Kensington Expressway, or a neighborhood street in Buffalo, Amherst, or Niagara Falls, our New York team handles the investigation, the insurance carriers, and — when it's needed — the courtroom.
New York law that affects your case
New York generally gives injury victims three years from the date of injury to file suit, applies a pure comparative negligence rule — you can recover even if you were mostly at fault, reduced by your percentage of fault — and is a no-fault state for car insurance, meaning your own carrier pays initial medical bills and you can sue the at-fault driver only for a 'serious injury' as defined by statute. Wrongful death claims carry a much shorter two-year deadline.

Buffalo sits at the crossroads of I-90 (the New York State Thruway), I-190, and the Peace Bridge border corridor, with steady commercial trucking and heavy commuter volume on the Kensington and Scajaquada expressways. Lake-effect snow and ice add a seasonal layer of serious crashes that Western New York knows all too well. We handle Erie County injury claims along with cases in Niagara, Genesee, Chautauqua, and the surrounding counties.

New York FAQs
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New York?
Generally three years from the date of injury for negligence claims, but wrongful death claims must be filed within two years, and claims against municipalities require a notice of claim within 90 days. Talk to a lawyer as early as you can.
Where is your New York office?
Our New York office is in Buffalo, serving Erie, Niagara, and the surrounding Western New York counties.
Can I still recover if I was partly at fault?
Yes. New York follows pure comparative negligence — you can recover damages even if you were partially (or even mostly) at fault, with your recovery reduced by your percentage of fault.
Do you charge anything up front for New York cases?
No. We work on contingency — you pay nothing unless we recover money for you, and the consultation is free.
