Claims against the City and State involve unique procedures and short statute of limitations. In nearly all instances, the injured person must serve a notice of claim on entities such as the City of New York or other municipal bodies before initiating a lawsuit. Claims against the State of New York must be proceeded by a Notice of Intention to File a Claim for Damages. Claimants pursuing legal action against a municipality often find themselves testifying twice. First before the filing of the summons and then subsequently after the lawsuit has commenced.
