Understanding New York Car Accident Laws

Statute of Limitations

You have 3 years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit.

• Exception: If the accident involved a government vehicle or entity, you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days.

No-Fault Insurance System

New York operates under a no-fault system, meaning your own insurance covers initial medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who caused the accident.

“Serious Injury” Threshold

To sue the at-fault driver beyond no-fault benefits, you must have suffered a "serious injury" as defined by New York law:

• Death
• Dismemberment
• Significant disfigurement
• Fracture
• Permanent loss of use of a body organ or member
• Permanent limitation of use of a body function
• Medically determined injury preventing usual activities for at least 90 of the first 180 days

Comparative Negligence

New York follows "pure comparative negligence," meaning you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
