No-Fault Insurance Coverage Following a Collision in Oyster Bay

New York requires drivers to carry no-fault car insurance coverage, which pays out regardless of what led to a collision or who caused it. According to the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS), no-fault auto policies cover basic losses, including:

• Medical bills up to the policy limit
• A portion of your lost wages up to the policy limit
• Incidentals related to your care, such as mileage to the doctor’s office

While this type of coverage provides an easy way to ensure you can recover a payout following a relatively minor or moderate collision, there are many damages victims suffer that are not compensated by these policies. Additionally, it is important to note that most motorcycle policies do not afford no-fault coverage. In order to recover for pain and suffering, and damages not covered by no-fault, a claim against the at-fault parties must be pursued.

Pursuing a Third-Party Liability Car Crash Case in Oyster Bay

A member of our team at Rosenberg & Gluck, L.L.P. can determine if you can pursue a case against the at-fault parties.

If you can pursue a fault-based case, there are two ways your attorney may be able to recover compensation for the damages you suffered. These two ways include:

• Reaching an agreement for a fair settlement with the at-fault party’s liability insurance provider; or
• Taking the case to trial, presenting strong evidence, and receiving a verdict and award.

Most cases settle before going to trial, but sometimes a trial is necessary. In either type of situation, you may be able to recover compensation for the current and future damages you suffered and will likely suffer because of your crash. This recovery could include:

• Pain and suffering damages
• Other non-economic, intangible losses
• Medical care and related expenses
• Lost wages
• Reduced earning ability
• Incidentals and miscellaneous related expenses
• Other economic losses and expenses
• Wrongful death damages, in cases when the victim passed away

To learn more about a fault-based car collision case, call Rosenberg & Gluck, L.L.P. at (516) 451-7900 now. We offer complimentary case reviews and consultations and handle these cases based on contingency.

NY Has a Statute of Limitations on Car Crash Lawsuits

Generally, we have up to three years to file a lawsuit for our clients following a car crash on Long Island. This time limit is set by New York Civil Practice Law & Rules (CVP) §214, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in the state.

Ensuring you meet this deadline is key to protecting your right to take legal action and hold the at-fault party responsible for your injuries and damages. However, there are also exceptions to this deadline that could mean you have much less time to get started, such as when the defendant is a municipality or when pursuing a wrongful death claim.

Reach out to our team for your complimentary case evaluation as soon as you can following your collision and the stabilization of your injuries. During this discussion, members of our team can ask questions that will help us pinpoint the time frames involved and whether compensation can be pursued.
