New York injury law, in practice

New York is a no-fault state: a crash victim’s own coverage pays the first $50,000 of medical expense and lost earnings regardless of fault. Two deadlines drive every referral — the 30-day window to file the no-fault application, and the 45-day window for submitting bills. Suing for pain and suffering additionally requires meeting a statutory serious-injury threshold.
