Hoosick Street (Route 7) is one of Rensselaer County's busiest commercial corridors and a frequent accident scene. I-787 between Troy and Albany has high collision volumes, especially during rush hour. The dense urban environment near RPI and Russell Sage produces frequent pedestrian and cyclist incidents.
Local context: Samaritan Hospital (2215 Burdett Avenue, Troy) handles most local emergency-room care. Severe cases are often transferred to Albany Med.
Rensselaer County Supreme Court (Congress and Second Streets, Troy) handles Troy-area personal injury cases.
We serve Troy clients primarily from our Albany office on Airline Drive, with virtual consultations available.
Statute of limitations: You have 3 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York. For wrongful death claims, the limit is 2 years. Cases against government entities (city, county, state) have much shorter notice deadlines — sometimes as short as 90 days.
Comparative negligence: New York is a pure comparative negligence state. Even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover damages — but your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
No-fault insurance: New York is a no-fault state for auto accidents. Your own insurance pays initial medical bills regardless of fault, but you can still sue for pain and suffering if injuries meet the "serious injury threshold."
Free consultations 24/7. No fee unless we win your case.
