A Step-by-Step Guide to Filing a Personal Injury Claim in New York
Understanding the claims process can help you avoid mistakes that could affect your recovery.
Seek Medical Treatment
Your health should always come first. Even if injuries seem minor, seek medical attention immediately. Medical records often serve as critical evidence in a personal injury claim.
Report the Accident
Whether the incident involves a vehicle collision or dangerous property condition, reporting the event creates important documentation that may support your case later.
Preserve Evidence
Photographs, videos, witness information, medical records, and repair estimates can strengthen your claim. The more evidence available, the easier it may be to establish liability.
Consult an Attorney
Before speaking extensively with insurance adjusters, consult a personal injury lawyer serving Westchester County. Insurance companies often look for ways to reduce settlements.
Investigation and Negotiation
Your attorney will investigate the accident, calculate damages, and negotiate with insurers. Many cases settle during this stage.
Litigation if Necessary
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, filing a lawsuit may become necessary. Our team prepares every case as if it may proceed to trial.
Additional information regarding traffic safety can be found through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

LOCAL TO WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY
We Know Westchester County’s Roads, Courts, and Communities
Westchester County is one of the most traffic-intensive counties in New York State — home to the Taconic State Parkway (the deadliest road in New York history), I-287, I-95, the Saw Mill River Parkway, and the Bronx River Parkway. White Plains alone recorded 3,255 crashes between 2014 and 2023. Traffic accidents in Westchester cause approximately two deaths, 25 hospitalizations, and 330 emergency room visits every single month. Rose Harper Law is based right here in Hawthorne — in the heart of the county — and knows every corridor where crashes happen and the courthouse where injury cases are decided.
🛣️ High-Risk Roads & Highways
Our team handles accident claims on Westchester County’s most dangerous corridors — all verified by NYSDOT, NHTSA, and local crash data:
→ Taconic State Parkway — the deadliest road in New York State history, with more than 2,000 crashes in a single three-year period, most occurring in Westchester County; in May 2025 a Sprinter van crossed the median near Millwood killing four people; in July 2009 a wrong-way crash near Pleasantville killed eight — the worst in Westchester County since 1934; the Taconic begins at Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla, passes directly through the village downtown, and runs north through Mount Pleasant, Hawthorne, Pleasantville, and New Castle
→ Interstate 287 (Cross Westchester Expressway) — runs east-west across central Westchester connecting I-87 to I-95 at Port Chester; White Plains, Harrison, and Port Chester see the highest crash concentrations on this corridor, especially during rush hour and bad weather; the I-287/I-95 interchange at Port Chester is one of the most complex and heavily trafficked junctions in the entire county
→ Interstate 95 (New England Thruway) — runs through southern Westchester from Yonkers to the Connecticut border; the New York State Thruway Authority committed $39.7 million in 2026 to resurface I-95 between White Plains Road and the Connecticut line, acknowledging the aging infrastructure and ongoing safety concerns on this corridor; the stretch through Mamaroneck and Rye is undergoing active pavement improvement through late 2026
→ Saw Mill River Parkway — a 30-mile limited-access parkway running through western Westchester; its proximity to the Taconic creates dangerous detour conditions when either parkway closes, as documented in the February 2015 Valhalla train crash that began with a Taconic accident diverting traffic onto local Commerce Street; the Saw Mill’s fluctuating speed limits and unclear signage are documented county-wide safety concerns
→ White Plains Crash Corridor (I-287 / Route 119 / Route 100 / Mamaroneck & Central Avenues) — White Plains recorded 3,255 crashes and 353 serious injuries between 2014 and 2023; its 2024 Vision Zero speed limit reduction specifically exempted 10 high-volume roads including Mamaroneck Avenue, Central Avenue, and North Broadway — the very corridors where the most serious crashes in White Plains continue to occur

⚖️ Westchester County Courts
Every serious personal injury lawsuit from every community in Westchester County — from Yonkers to Ossining, from Port Chester to Valhalla — is litigated at the same courthouse in White Plains. Rose Harper Law knows it well.
Westchester County Supreme Court
111 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., White Plains, NY 10601
9th Judicial District · Civil: (914) 824-5300
In New York, the Supreme Court is the trial-level court that handles all major personal injury lawsuits — car accidents, truck crashes, pedestrian injuries, wrongful death claims, and more. The Westchester County Courthouse is a 19-story landmark in downtown White Plains, and Rose Harper Law — based in Hawthorne, minutes from the courthouse — is prepared to litigate your case before a Westchester County judge if the insurance company refuses to settle fairly.
⚠️ Important: New York’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years from the date of your accident. However, if you were injured on a state or county-maintained road — including the Taconic, Saw Mill, I-287, or I-95 — a
Notice of Claim must be filed within 90 days. Given how many Westchester accidents occur on state and county parkways, this shorter deadline very likely applies to your case. Contact Rose Harper Law immediately.
Rear-End Car Accident – $150,000 Settlement
Westchester County, New York
Angel was driving through Westchester County when another driver slammed into the back of his vehicle in a sudden and forceful rear-end collision that caused a serious back injury. The impact was immediate and violent, leaving Angel in significant pain and facing a recovery process far more demanding and lengthy than he could have anticipated in the moments following the crash.
In the weeks and months that followed, Angel’s back injury proved to be deeply disruptive — affecting his ability to work, limiting his physical capabilities, and requiring consistent medical attention and rehabilitation to manage the ongoing pain and complications. The financial pressure of accumulating medical bills combined with lost income created an additional burden during an already incredibly difficult period in his life.
Our legal team wasted no time building a strong case on Angel’s behalf, securing police reports, medical records, and all available evidence to establish clear liability and paint a full picture of the physical, financial, and personal toll this accident had taken. We negotiated aggressively with the insurance company, rejecting every inadequate offer and standing firm until a fair resolution was reached.
Result: We secured a $150,000 settlement for Angel, delivering the full and fair compensation he deserved for his medical expenses, lost wages, and the significant pain and suffering caused by another driver’s negligence on Westchester County roads.
