Understanding New York Car Accident Laws

New York operates under a no-fault insurance system, meaning that your own insurance company will cover your medical expenses and lost wages up to a certain limit, regardless of who was at fault for the accident. However, if your injuries are severe and meet certain criteria, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver.

No-Fault Insurance Coverage:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Other reasonable and necessary expenses related to the accident

Serious Injury Threshold: To step outside the no-fault system and file a lawsuit, your injuries must meet New York’s “serious injury” threshold, which includes:

• Significant disfigurement
• Bone fractures
• Permanent limitation of use of a body organ or member
• Significant limitation of use of a body function or system
• Full disability for 90 days

Steps to Take After a Car Accident in New York

1. Ensure Safety – Move to a safe location and check for injuries. Call 911 if anyone is injured.
2. Report the Accident – New York law requires you to report any accident that results in injury or significant property damage to the police.
3. Gather Evidence – Collect as much information as possible at the scene, including photos, witness statements, and the other driver’s contact and insurance information.
4. Seek Medical Attention – Even if you feel fine, get a medical check-up. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
5. Contact RHINO Lawyers – Before speaking to insurance companies, consult with our experienced attorneys to understand your rights and options.
