Know this

What makes car accident cases different

  • 1

    Your state's insurance system (at-fault or no-fault) decides whose policy pays first.

  • 2

    Your state's fault rule can reduce or bar your recovery if you share any blame.

  • 3

    Policy limits often cap what you can realistically collect from the other driver.

Checklist

Evidence to save now

  • Police crash report number
  • Photos of vehicles, the scene and your injuries
  • Names and phone numbers of witnesses
  • Medical records and bills from the first visit onward
  • All letters and emails from any insurance company

For most injury claims (N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 214).

Fault rule

Pure comparative fault

You can recover damages even if you were mostly at fault, but your award is reduced by your share of the blame. (N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 1411)

Your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage pays your medical bills and some lost wages first, no matter who caused the crash. You can sue the at-fault driver only if your injuries meet the state's threshold.

Pending attorney review. General information, not legal advice. Deadlines can be shorter for claims against government agencies and for some case types.
