New York Personal Injury Laws You Should Know
New York has specific rules that affect personal injury claims. Understanding these laws helps protect your rights.
No-Fault Insurance for Vehicle Accidents
New York operates under a no-fault insurance system. Your own insurance company pays your medical bills and lost wages up to $50,000 through Personal Injury Protection (PIP), regardless of who caused the crash.
To sue the at-fault driver for additional compensation, you must meet the "serious injury" threshold defined by New York Insurance Law Section 5102(d). Qualifying injuries include fractures, significant disfigurement, permanent limitation of a body function, and injuries preventing normal activities for 90 days within 180 days of the accident.
Statute of Limitations
New York's statute of limitations gives you three years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. For claims against government entities like the MTA or New York City, you must file a notice of claim within 90 days. Missing these deadlines forfeits your right to compensation.
Comparative Negligence
New York follows pure comparative negligence rules. You can recover damages even if you share fault for your accident. Your award gets reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
Insurance companies use this rule against injured victims, claiming they were partially responsible. An experienced attorney can counter these arguments with evidence.
Sidewalk Liability in New York City
Property owners in Brooklyn are responsible for maintaining the sidewalks in front of their buildings under NYC Administrative Code 7-210. When broken or uneven sidewalks cause injuries, the property owner may be liable.
What Damages Can You Recover in a Brooklyn Personal Injury Case?
Personal injury victims in New York can pursue both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic Damages
These cover your measurable financial losses:
• Medical expenses, including emergency care, surgery, hospitalization, and rehabilitation
• Future medical costs for ongoing treatment
• Lost wages from time missed at work
• Reduced earning capacity if your injuries affect your ability to work
• Property damage
• Out-of-pocket expenses related to your injury
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motor vehicle crashes cost Americans hundreds of billions annually in medical expenses and lost productivity. The CDC injury data confirms that unintentional injuries are a leading cause of emergency department visits nationwide.
Non-Economic Damages
New York permits compensation for pain and suffering, including:
• Physical pain from your injuries
• Emotional distress and mental anguish
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Permanent scarring or disfigurement
• Loss of consortium affecting your relationship with your spouse
Many injuries don't show their full extent immediately. Brain injuries can cause delayed symptoms. Soft tissue injuries may not appear on initial scans. Back injuries and neck injuries often require extensive treatment. Document everything and follow up with your doctors.
Punitive Damages
In cases involving particularly egregious conduct, such as drunk driving or intentional misconduct, New York courts may award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer.
