Victims of motor vehicle accidents* will be relieved to know that under New York State No Fault Law their medical bills and lost earnings are paid by motor vehicle insurance, regardless of who is at fault. However, a quirk in the law requires that same victim to prove with particular documentation a “serious injury,” as defined by the law, before obtaining a monetary recovery for pain, suffering and injuries. So, even if an accident was entirely the other driver’s fault, that victim can end up with nothing without the correct medical tests, treatment, and records. Equally as bad, is that an injured party has a very short time—30 days—to file for benefits, after which they will not be entitled to them without a fight. Under NYS law, you can only be reimbursed for your medical bills and lost earnings, if you timely file your no-fault application within 30 days after an accident with the correct insurance company. And you can only sue if : a) your conditions meet the “serious injury thre...
