If you are injured in an Upstate NY auto accident, there are specific steps you must take in order to protect your rights. All persons injured as a result of the use or operation of a motor vehicle (even pedestrians and bicyclists), are entitled to received No-Fault benefits for accident related losses, regardless of fault. Motorcycles, mopeds and ATV’s are excluded. No-Fault benefits include medical bills, lost earnings, travel expenses, household care, death benefits, and prescriptions.
No-Fault benefits are provided by the insurance company insuring the vehicle you were in (or in the case of a pedestrian or bicycle accident, the vehicle that struck you). The insurance company insuring the vehicle you were in is responsible for paying all properly submitted claims resulting from the accident. However, the company does not have to pay more than the policy limits. There is at least $50,000.00 in No-Fault benefits for each qualifying injured party. However, if you (or the owner of the vehicle) purchased additional Personal Injury Protection (PIP) above the $50,000.00 minimum, then the No-Fault insurance company is responsible for paying up to the full value of that policy.
The insurance company providing No-Fault benefits does not provide compensation for “pain and suffering”. The Albany auto accident lawyers at AMT Law will analyze your injuries and disability to determine if you have a claim for “pain and suffering”. In addition, to the extent that your losses are medical expenses and wages totaling in excess of $50,000.00, a claim can be made for the portion of your damages that exceed this amount.
