How do New York State’s no-fault laws impact you ?
New York requires all vehicles to carry “no-fault” personal injury insurance in order to register a vehicle and to get license plates. No-fault coverage encompasses medical expenses, lost wages and other “reasonable and necessary expenses.” No-fault insurance generally covers accident-related expenses up to $50,000 per person. In order to get compensation after an accident, you must file a claim within 30 days. As your attorneys, we file this claim for you and manage the insurance process.
