Question 1

Can I file a lawsuit if I don't have legal immigration status?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In New York and New Jersey, your immigration status does not affect your right to compensation. The law protects you equally regardless of your documentation. Your information is 100% confidential and will never be shared with ICE or government agencies.

Question 2

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York?

Accepted Answer

In New York, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally 3 years from the date of the accident. In New Jersey it is 2 years. However, if the accident occurred on government property such as a subway or public sidewalk, you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days.

Question 3

Who pays my medical bills after a car accident in New York?

Accepted Answer

New York applies the No-Fault law, which means your own auto insurance pays your initial medical expenses regardless of who caused the accident. In New Jersey, PIP coverage works similarly. At 1800 Cantaso we help you navigate all insurance paperwork so you pay nothing out of pocket.

Question 4

Who is responsible if I slip and fall in a store or shopping mall?

Accepted Answer

The property owner or manager is responsible if they knew about the dangerous condition such as wet floors, ice, or broken surfaces and failed to fix it. In New York and New Jersey, property owners have a legal obligation to maintain safe premises.

Question 5

How much does it cost to hire a lawyer through 1800 Cantaso?

Accepted Answer

Nothing upfront. 1800 Cantaso operates on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay absolutely nothing unless your case is won. We finance the entire investigation and legal process.

Question 6

What should I do immediately after a construction accident in New York?

Accepted Answer

First seek medical attention immediately. Document the accident scene with photos before anything is moved. Report the accident to your supervisor and get a copy of the incident report. Do not sign any documents from the employer or insurance company without legal advice. Contact 1800 Cantaso immediately.
