New York Car Accident Law: What You Need to Know

Key legal rules that affect how New York car accident claims are valued and resolved.

Fault System

Pure Comparative Fault (No-Fault state)

Statute of Limitations

3 years from the date of the accident

Minimum Liability

$25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident / $10,000 property damage

New York is a no-fault state—your own insurance covers your medical expenses and lost wages up to your PIP limit regardless of who caused the accident.

To sue the at-fault driver, your injuries must meet the ‘serious injury’ threshold, which includes significant disfigurement, bone fractures, or permanent limitation of a body function.

New York uses pure comparative fault—you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault, reduced by your share of responsibility.
