Typically you have up to one year to file, but if you are past that date, speak to an attorney ASAP to see if you can still file.

You have a workers compensation case and a claim against the person that hurt you.

The time to file the comp case against your employer is 2 years from the date of injury or last payment of compensation, whichever is later. There is no time limit on filing a medical claim under the Comp Act. You have 2 years to file against the third party.

You have two years to file suit against the third party; you need to make a Workers' Compensation claim with your employer ASAP, but you can not sue your employer in civil court.

You can't sue your employer for injuries at work, your only remedy is Workers' Compensation and the deadline for that in New York it's two years. You can sue the third party and you have three years in which to do that.
