Recoverable Damages in No-Fault and Fault-Based Claims

New York State has no-fault auto insurance coverage required of every driver. This centers on a Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policy that covers up to $50,000 of medical bills, limited lost income, and daily expenses related to the accident and recovery.

If the driver suffers serious injuries or is out of work for an extended period, they may qualify to file a fault-based liability claim. This type of claim holds the at-fault motorist responsible and seeks additional compensation for pain and suffering and other intangible losses. Accident victims may also recover additional losses for missed work, out-of-pocket expenses, and car repairs.

Attorneys may secure fault-based payouts outside of court through the insurance claims process. Occasionally, these cases do go to trial.

Careless and Reckless Drivers Cause Head-On Collisions

Like other types of traffic accidents, there are laws in place to prevent head-on collisions. There are traffic signs and signals to coordinate intersections, heavy signage indicating one-way streets and divided highways, and clearly marked passing areas on two-lane roads. Still, head-on collisions occur.

Some ways this can happen include:

  • A vehicle crosses over the centerline in front of oncoming traffic.
  • A driver goes the wrong way on a one-way street.
  • A motorist crosses over the median of a divided highway.
  • A vehicle enters a parkway or interstate via the exit ramp.
  • A driver ignores other traffic signs, signals, or ordinances.

In many cases, drivers who make these mistakes behind the wheel are distracted, intoxicated, or driving aggressively, as well.

Because of the forces involved in these accidents, they are often very dangerous to the occupants of all vehicles involved. New York’s no-fault laws allow victims with injuries defined as “serious” under New York Civil Insurance Laws (ISC) §5102(d) to pursue fault-based claims. These claims attempt to hold the careless or reckless driver accountable for their actions and recover additional damages.

You can learn more about the possibility of seeking compensation through a fault-based action by calling Morelli Law Firm today. Our team will examine your case and determine if you may qualify. Dial (212) 751-9800 now to speak with a team member.

Meeting the Timeline Necessary for Financial Recovery

Whether you need to file your PIP claim or lawsuit in civil court, there are deadlines you will need to meet. You likely only have a few weeks to notify your insurance provider about your accident and should contact them as soon as you can. Then, there may be a deadline for submitting your medical bills, receipts, and other documents.

If you qualify to file a third-party claim against the at-fault driver, you might need to take the case to trial. Under New York Civil Practice Laws and Rules (CVP) §214, the deadline for taking legal action in a local civil court is generally three years from the day the accident occurred.

Our team understands that you need compensation as quickly as possible. Let us review your case as soon as your injuries are stable, and we may be able to begin our investigation, file your claim, and begin the process right away.
