According to the New York Department of Financial Services (DFS), though, no-fault insurance only provides coverage for basic expenses and losses. This may include your medical bills up to the policy limits, a portion of your lost wages, and mileage to your doctor visits. It does not include pain and suffering or other damages that you may suffer as a result of the crash.

Recoverable Damages After a New York Collision

You may be able to recover damages, including pain and suffering and expenses not covered by no-fault,through a lawsuit against the at-fault driver.

In addition to your medical care coverage, you may also be able to recover:

• Your full lost wages and benefits
• Reduced ability to earn for permanent injuries
• Pain and suffering losses and other non-economic damages
