Dear Bayside Defendant: If you are a defendant in a personal injury claim provide notice to your insurance company so that your insurance will provide a legal defense to the claims in the lawsuit. Motions to dismiss upon a ground of improper service exist due to the CPLR. While you learn about the motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction you should determine other grounds available to dismiss a complaint as provided at CPLR 3211.

The statute of limitations is three years in your state.

The statute of limitations in a personal injury action is 3 years. If service was improper, the case can be dismissed. In all likelihood, the court will order a hearing to be satisfied that service was improper. You should also be aware if the case is dismissed for improper service, it can be refiled. If it is refiled within the 3 year statute of limitations and service is proper the second time, the case will go forward. In either case, you should turn over all papers you receive to your insurance company. If you don't turn the papers over and give the insurance company timely notice of the accident, they could disclaim coverage which means you will not have the insurance to cover you or an attorney to represent you.
