  New York City Car Accident Lawyer Every year, thousands of people are injured in New York City car accidents, leaving them overwhelmed by medical bills, insurance calls, and unanswered questions about what comes next.

  New York operates under a no-fault insurance system, which means your own insurer covers certain medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who caused the crash, up to $50,000 per person in basic economic loss.
• 0:24
  However, no-fault benefits do not cover pain and suffering, and pursuing those damages requires proving a serious injury as defined under Insurance Law Section 5102(d).
• 0:36
  Qualifying serious injuries include death, fracture, significant disfigurement, permanent loss of use of a body organ, and significant limitation of a body function or system.
• 0:46
  Medical evidence such as imaging results, range-of-motion testing, and physician findings plays a critical role in establishing that an injury crosses that statutory threshold.
• 0:57
  Liability in a New York City collision does not always rest with one driver alone, as responsibility can extend to a vehicle owner, an employer, or even a government entity depending on the facts.
• 1:09
  Under Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 388, a vehicle owner can be held responsible for a driver who operated the vehicle with permission, and employers can face liability when a crash occurs during the scope of employment.

  When a city-owned vehicle or dangerous road condition contributes to a crash, General Municipal Law Section 50-e requires a notice of claim to be filed within just 90 days.
• 1:32
  After any Manhattan collision, New York's no-fault rules also require written notice to the applicable insurer within 30 days of the accident, making prompt action essential to protecting your claim.
• 1:43
  Recoverable damages can include future medical care, lost earning capacity beyond the no-fault wage cap, vehicle repair costs, and non-economic losses like pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
