### Jamaica injury FAQs
**Q: How long do I have to file an injury claim after an accident in Jamaica?**
New York generally allows three years to file a personal-injury lawsuit. If a public entity — an MTA bus, a city vehicle, or a public agency — was involved in your Jamaica accident, a Notice of Claim is usually due within about 90 days, so confirm your exact deadline quickly.
**Q: Where would a lawsuit for a Jamaica accident be filed?**
Injury cases arising in Jamaica are generally handled in the Queens County Supreme Court. An attorney files in the proper venue and makes sure every responsible party and insurance layer is identified.
**Q: Do I use my own insurance after a crash in Jamaica?**
Yes. Under New York's No-Fault system, your own auto policy pays your initial medical bills and part of your lost wages after a Jamaica crash regardless of who was at fault. Pain-and-suffering claims are separate and require meeting the serious-injury threshold.
