No Fault Insurance

What is "No Fault" Car Insurance?

Under state law, all drivers in New York are required to have a no fault insurance policy in effect to provide prompt coverage in the event of a car accident. The financial impact of a collision can be staggering, from the outrageous costs of emergency medical treatment, hospitalization, surgery and rehabilitative care, to the income which the accident victim stands to lose while recovering and as a result of permanent disability.

No fault insurance helps to off-set this impact by paying up to $50,000 in coverage regardless of who is responsible for causing the accident. Whether you were hit through no fault of your own or if you are entirely responsible for causing the crash, you should be entitled to recover a settlement. In the event that you have suffered serious injuries, defined by New York Insurance Law as including those which result in dismemberment, significant disfigurement, bone fractures, miscarriage or certain types of disability, we may additionally be able to help you file a claim against the other driver's liability policy, making it possible to increase the value of your settlement.
