A Local Lawyer for Serious Injury Claims on Long Island
New York’s no-fault insurance law limits the scenarios where you can sue for pain and suffering after a car accident. Your injury must meet the legal definition of a “serious injury” under Insurance Law § 5102(d). If you don’t pass the threshold, your only compensation will come from your own no-fault coverage.
An accident attorney can review your case, identify the most likely category of serious injury you would clear in court, negotiate on your behalf with an insurer for full and fair compensation, and build the case in the background in case it moves to trial.
- You can only sue for a serious injury if the other driver shares more responsibility for the accident. The rules changed in 2026, cutting claimants off when they share over 50% of the blame.
- If the claim proceeds to court (if there is no fair settlement), the court will determine fault first, before assessing if your injury is serious.
It is essential that you have legal representation if you were seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident in Dix Hills or anywhere else in New York.
- Our lawyers will secure evidence and build an accurate picture of the accident to prove who was responsible.
- We engage with professionals, including accident reconstructionists and medical professionals, to outline both the accident and the extent/long-term impact of the injuries you have suffered.
- Avoid talking to any other party’s insurance company after the accident. Anything you say or sign could nullify your right to seek compensation.
If you were seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident, talk to The Raimondo Law Firm as soon as you are safe and have received medical attention.
