Suing For Emotional Distress

Summary

In New York, suing for emotional distress requires filing within a three-year statute of limitations and proving severe distress caused by the defendants actions. Since the incident occurred over three years ago, it may be challenging to pursue a lawsuit. However, consulting with a local attorney could help explore any exceptions or additional options. Many personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. Additionally, some lawyers offer free initial consultations to discuss your case. If you are considering legal action against an educational institution for abuse, its crucial to document incidents and gather evidence. Connecting with a lawyer specializing in educational law and civil rights can provide guidance on how to proceed.
