If you are seeking a New York motor vehicle accident lawyer, know that no crash is routine. These cases include complex liability, serious injuries and a legal framework that limits how much and when you can recover.
 
New York has a no fault insurance system. Your insurance covers the initial medical treatment and part of lost wages, regardless of who caused the accident. It helps in the short term. However, it limits your ability to sue, unless your injuries meet a serious injury threshold under New York law. Serious injuries including fractures, significant disfigurement and permanent or major limitations may qualify a claim for full recovery beyond the no fault system.
 

Deadlines & Early Action

Timing is critical in motor vehicle accident cases. Filing deadlines vary by the nature of the claim and parties involved, and missing them can bar a claim entirely. Cases involving government entities have particularly strict notice requirements. Early legal involvement is essential to preserve evidence, meet deadlines, and position the case correctly from the start.
 
Additionally, the no-fault system, New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule. Even if you were partially at fault, you may recover damages reduced by your share of responsibility. Insurance companies use this to limit payouts. Countering it requires a clear, evidence-driven strategy from the start.
 

Built for Trial. Prepared from Day One.

Whether the incident involves a passenger vehicle, a commercial truck, a motorcycle, or a pedestrian struck in traffic, identifying the responsible party requires immediate investigation and the preservation of evidence. Every case at Subin Law is built with trial in mind from the moment it is retained.
 
Insurance companies know which firms are trial-ready. That knowledge shapes how cases are assessed and negotiated. When a fair resolution is not reached, the case is prepared for court.
 
Subin Law takes a limited number of serious cases so each receives focused attention and a strategy built around its specific facts. Consultations are free and confidential. No attorney fees are charged unless compensation is recovered.

Automobile Accidents FAQ

Regardless of how minor you think the motor vehicle accident is, you should always report it to the police. Write down names, addresses and phone numbers of any witnesses in case you need them later, and make sure the police officer gives you a copy of the driver exchange information form. Call your insurance agent and your insurance company immediately for further instructions. If you do not report the accident, the insurance company may deny payment of any claims you subsequently file. Your insurance company must notify you within 30 (thirty) days of receiving proper notice of the claim whether they will pay or deny your claim or that they are investigating the claim.

Yes, you need to inform your insurance company of the accident, but they cannot raise your premium if the accident was not your fault. New York is a no-fault automobile accident state. It means that your automobile insurance company is required to pay for your medical expenses up to a certain amount, depending on the policy you purchased.

To the extent your friend has Bodily Injury Protection as part of his insurance policy, his insurance company is required by law to pay for your damages. It will also be required to hire an attorney to defend your friend if a lawsuit is filed. By purchasing insurance benefits, your friend will not have to pay for legal defense or related expenses.

That depends. If the accident was not completely your fault, you can still recover damages from the other driver for that portion of the accident that was his or her fault. New York allows injured parties to bring claims against others even if they were partially at fault.
