New York is a 'no-fault' state for car accidents, meaning your own insurance policy covers your medical expenses and lost wages up to a certain limit, regardless of who caused the accident.

Attorneys are licensed by the New York State Unified Court System. When selecting a lawyer, it's crucial they understand New York's no-fault insurance law, serious injury threshold, and have experience litigating cases in New York courts.
