Have You Been Seriously Injured in a Hicksville Car Accident?
If you or someone in your family was involved in a car accident and the injury passes the Serious Injury Threshold, you may be entitled to compensation. Categories include injuries that cause Death, Dismemberment, Significant Disfigurement, Fracture, Loss of Fetus, Permanent Loss of Use, Permanent Consequential Limitation, and Significant Limitation.
New York passed Insurance Law and Tort Reforms in 2026. There are additional requirements to consider when you are seriously injured.
- You can’t sue for pain and suffering if you share 51% or more of the fault in an accident. Your share of responsibility must be equal to or less than the other driver's.
- Your injury needs to pass the Serious Injury Threshold, and this will be tested in court. Fault is determined first, before the threshold question is addressed.
- Objective evidence is essential to prove facts around the accident and the resulting injuries.
Insurers will fight to minimize what they owe you. They will apply tactics to argue that you were primarily responsible for an accident, and if that fails, they will argue that your injuries aren’t serious, or that they weren’t caused by the accident.
