Car accidents can turn your life upside down. While most accidents can be dealt with quickly, some lead to severe injuries with overwhemling medical expenses, as well as vehicle repair costs.

What is No-Fault Insurance?
Personal injury protection (PIP) is a mandatory part of certain in-state insurance policies. PIP can cover medical expenses, essential services, and lost wages. If you have a New York car insurance policy and are injured in a car accident, PIP coverage will pay expenses up to your policy limit (usually up to $50,000). Because New York is a no-fault state, your PIP coverage pays out first. If your medical expenses exceed your policy limit, you can still pursue financial compensation.
What is Comparative Negligence?
The State of New York considers Comparative Negligence. This allows for the liability of one party to be reduced proportionally by the negligence of the other party. It may be likely that the defendant in your case will attempt to show that you were also negligent as a means to escape or reduce liability.
What is the Statute of Limitations for My Case?
In the State of New York, the statute of limitations for a car accident injury case runs for three years, starting from the date of your accident. The statute of limitations and requirements are different when dealing with a public or governmental entity. Don’t wait to contact an experienced car accident attorney. Getting an early start on your case can help protect and secure your interests!
