FAQ

Common Questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in New York?
In New York, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is 3 years from the date of the accident. Medical malpractice claims must be filed within 2.5 years. Wrongful death claims must be filed within 2 years. Don't wait — contact a lawyer as soon as possible to preserve evidence.
Does the firm handle cases outside Manhattan?
Yes. Gair, Gair, Conason represents clients throughout all five boroughs of New York City and across New York State, including Long Island and Westchester. Their downtown Manhattan location at 80 Pine Street is easily accessible from all boroughs.
What is a contingency fee and how does it work?
A contingency fee means the firm takes a percentage of your settlement or verdict — typically 33.3% — only if you win. If you lose, you pay nothing for the firm's time. This allows injury victims to access elite legal representation without any upfront cost.
How long do personal injury cases take to resolve?
It varies significantly. Simple car accident cases with clear liability can sometimes settle within 6–18 months. Complex medical malpractice cases often take 2–4 years. The firm will give you a realistic timeline after evaluating your case.
