New York's serious-injury threshold and crowded court dockets mean cases can take three years or more. Lawsuit funding helps NYC claimants survive the wait.
New York requires injury claimants to clear a 'serious injury' threshold under Insurance Law §5102(d) before they can sue in tort. Litigating that threshold alone can take months — and the underlying case can take years.
Bronx, Brooklyn, Kings, Queens, and New York County dockets are among the most backlogged in the country. Three- and four-year case timelines are common, especially for cases that head toward trial.
AARC funds New York personal injury cases with no credit check, no monthly payments, and no recovery from you if the case loses. Decisions are typically same-day once we receive your attorney's file.
We routinely fund NYC subway accident claims, MTA bus collisions, sidewalk trip-and-falls (especially against the City and major property owners), construction Labor Law §240 cases, and rideshare claims.
Construction cases under Labor Law §240 (the 'scaffold law') often produce strong recoveries and support larger advances. Documentation of the fall protection failure and resulting injuries drives funding decisions.
