How New York Law Affects Your Case, and Your Funding
Two features of New York law shape every personal injury case here, and both directly affect how much pre-settlement funding your case can support.
The filing clock matters just as much: most New York personal injury claims must be filed within 3 years of the injury. And if a government entity is involved, a city vehicle, public property, a state agency, formal notice deadlines are typically far shorter than the general statute of limitations. Confirming those dates should be one of the first conversations you have with your attorney.
For funding purposes, the practical takeaway: in New York, most claims follow pure comparative negligence, but auto cases filed on or after May 26, 2026 are barred above 50% fault. When you apply, we review these factors directly with your attorney, you don’t need to have the answers yourself.

New York Lawsuit Loans: What Every Plaintiff Should Know
Personal injury cases in New York typically take 12 to 36 months to resolve, and insurance carriers know exactly how long most families can hold out. Every month you can’t wait is leverage for them. Pre-settlement funding exists to take that leverage away.
New York’s Fault Rule and What It Means for Your Case
New York uses pure comparative negligence for most injury claims: you can recover even if mostly at fault, reduced by your share. Exception (2026 reform): in motor vehicle cases filed on or after May 26, 2026, recovery is barred entirely if you were more than 50% at fault. Insurers understand this rule intimately and shape their negotiation strategy around it, which is why the quality of your liability evidence (reports, witnesses, footage) affects both your recovery and the funding amount your case supports.
The Filing Clock, and the Government-Entity Trap
Most New York injury claims must be filed within 3 years. Claims involving government entities typically require formal notice on a much shorter timeline. A claim filed outside these windows has no enforceable value to advance against, regardless of how strong the underlying facts are.
New York’s 2026 Auto Tort Reform
On May 26, 2026, New York enacted major reforms for motor vehicle cases filed on or after that date: a plaintiff more than 50% at fault can no longer recover (new CPLR §1411(b)), juries now decide fault before the injury threshold, the 90/180-day serious injury category was eliminated, and pain-and-suffering recovery is capped at $100,000 in narrow cases: driving uninsured with a coverage lapse of 30 days or more, or impaired driving or felony flight with a conviction; the cap does not apply to death actions. All other New York injury claims, including premises, Labor Law, and medical malpractice cases, still follow pure comparative negligence. Cases filed before May 26, 2026 proceed under the prior rules. Note also that New York medical malpractice claims follow a shorter deadline, generally two and a half years, extendable under the continuous treatment doctrine. These changes make liability evidence and documented injuries more important than ever in New York auto claims, and our underwriting reflects the rule that applies to your specific case.
Funding Rules in New York
New York now has one of the most comprehensive consumer funding laws in the country. The Consumer Litigation Funding Act took effect June 17, 2026 (it does not apply to agreements signed before that date). Contracts must be in plain language with a complete payment schedule, you have a 10-business-day right to cancel, prepayment penalties are prohibited, repayment is a predetermined amount rather than a percentage of your recovery, the total a funder may collect is capped by statute, your attorney must sign an acknowledgment for the contract to be valid, and funders may not influence your case or pay referral fees. Funder registration with New York regulators begins February 13, 2027. Every New York agreement we arrange complies fully with the Act.
