The following information is provided to advise New York State accident victims of their legal rights.
If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident in New York State, you might be entitled to payment of your medical and hospital bills, transportation for medical treatment, prescription medication, orthopedic appliances, household help and lost wages (subject to medical necessity, insurance policy limitations, and insurance policy deductible, if applicable.)
If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident in New York State, you might be entitled to monetary compensation for your injuries (subject to the “serious injury” requirements pursuant to the “no-fault threshold”), even if one or more of the following applies:
•the driver and owner of the vehicle that caused the collision was uninsured; or
•the driver of the vehicle that caused the collision fled from the scene of the accident.
If you were injured in an accident in New York State, you might be entitled to monetary compensation for your injuries, even if you were partially at fault.
If you were injured at a store, business, residence or other premises, you might be entitled to reimbursement of your expenses for reasonable and necessary medical and hospital treatment, up to the amount of medical payments coverage provided by the owner’s insurance policy. Please keep in mind, that this coverage is not included in all insurance policies, and where provided, is often limited to a relatively low maximum total payment. The medical payments endorsement, if provided, is usually separate from liability coverage for pain and suffering, etc.
