Serious Injuries and New York’s Auto Insurance Law
Major automotive insurance and tort reforms in 2026 changed how injured drivers can seek compensation from another party.
- New York is now a modified comparative negligence state. You cannot sue another driver if you were more than 50% responsible for an accident.
- The courts now determine fault and serious injuries in sequence. Fault is calculated before determining if an injury passes the serious injury threshold.
- The 90/180 Day Serious Injury Category has been removed. You cannot pass the threshold for a temporary injury that left you unable to perform routine activities for the first 90 days after an accident.
An experienced accident attorney in Bay Shore will work to build the strongest possible claim. The Raimondo Law Firm is prepared to fight for your serious injury compensation.
