Frequently Asked Questions
Do no-fault insurance laws cover all vehicle accidents?
No. While New York’s no-fault laws cover cars, taxis, and trucks, they do not apply to motorcycles. Pedestrian and bicycle accidents may fall under a driver’s no-fault insurance if a vehicle was involved.
Who is responsible for my medical bills after an accident?
Your no-fault insurer may cover initial expenses. For serious injuries, additional claims can be filed against the at-fault driver and other responsible parties.
Can I sue for pain and suffering?
Yes, if your injuries meet New York’s “serious injury threshold” or if you were a motorcyclist, cyclist, or pedestrian injured by a vehicle.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Shorter deadlines may apply if a government-owned vehicle was involved.
