Q: I got false arrested 2 times by NYPD police about 1 year and 6 months ago. I just got all criminal charges dismissed and proved my arrest was a false arrest. I plan to sue NYPD for compensation. I heard some lawyer told me in order to sue NYPD, I have to file a notice of claim within 90 days of the arrest. But some lawyer told me I dont have to file such thing, once I proved my case was a false arrest, I have up to 3 years to file lawsuit. I didnt file any notice within 90 days so if i still have chance to sue NYPD
A: David's Answer: A notice of claim indeed needs to be filed within 90 days of the date of the incident. That said, you may have only waived your state claims at this point. You have up to 3 years to file your federal civil rights claims. Consult a NYC civil rights lawyer for more info. -- David Bliven, Bronx Civil Rights attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
