What to know about your Car Accident Lawsuit:
1.) If you have been injured from a car accident in New York, you are actually in luck, speaking comparatively to other parts of the country. New York has what's called "The No-Fault Law" which allows for up to $50,000 of your medical bills arising from your accident to be covered by your insurance company. This means medical bills for any treatment you receive for your injuries, up to $50,000, will not have to be paid back out of your settlement. In most other states, your medical bills will have to be repaid out of the money you win in your lawsuit.
2.) Also, it is important to know that the minimum insurance policy limits in the State of New York are $25,000/$50,000. This means that all drivers are mandated to carry at least that much insurance on their vehicle. The $25,000 refers to the maximum insurance policy per injured occupant and the $50,000 refers to the total policy for all injured occupants in the crash. Insurance policy limits are a very important factor in motor vehicle accident lawsuits because that establishes the maximum amount of money one can hope to receive in their settlement. While a 25/50 policy is the state minimum, often drivers will opt for a higher limits policy, so it is very important to find out the insurance policy limits associated with your car accident lawsuit to have a better idea of what you can potentially be compensated in your settlement.
3.) Lastly, in order to file a motor vehicle lawsuit in the State of New York, your attorney will need to file the lawsuit within 3 years from the date of your accident. This is called the statute of limitations and if you miss this deadline, you will not be able to collect damages for your accident.
