Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

New York No-Fault Law Explained

New York�s No-Fault Law was enacted to make certain that legitimate accident related medical expenses, lost earnings and incidental costs were paid by the insurance companies.

However, under New York No-Fault Law, you cannot recover for personal injuries unless you have sustained Serious Injury under the law.

Under New York State Insurance Law, Serious Injury Threshold is defined as:

* A permanent loss of use of a body organ, member, function and symptom.

* A permanent consequential limitation of a use of a body organ or member.

* Significant limitation of a use of a body function or system.

* A medically determined injury or impairment of a non-permanent nature which has prevented the Plaintiffs from performing substantially all the material acts which constitute the Plaintiffs usual and customary daily activities for not less than 90 days during the 180 days immediately following the accident.
