millions of people are involved in car, motorcycle, commercial truck, hit and run, and other vehicle accidents in the united states each year.

while some are lucky enough to walk away without a scratch, many others experience life altering traumas that can forever affect their physiological, financial, and social well-being.

while the law protects your right to obtain compensation for your injuries, the process does not allow you to wait until you feel better to do so.

deadlines for filing paperwork loom soon after an accident and the consequences of missing a deadline can be catastrophic.

under new york's no-fault law, there are two ways to receive compensation if you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident. first, anyone who has been injured as a result of motor vehicle accident is entitled to "no-fault" insurance benefits to cover economic losses, hospital and medical bills and lost wages. the appropriate insurance company must pay these benefits even if the injured person was partially or totally at fault. if the injuries are simple to diagnose and the financial losses straightforward to calculate, the hospital or doctors office where you sought treatment will bill the insurance company directly and you will be reimbursed for any expenses incurred as a result of the accident. second, those who have unfortunately suffered more serious injuries, such as a broken bone or long-term disabilities, may file a lawsuit seeking money damages for pain and suffering.
