In New York, being injured in a car accident doesn’t automatically give you the right to recover damages for pain and suffering.
Because of NY’s No-Fault insurance system, you must first prove your injury meets the statutory definition of a "Serious Injury" under Insurance Law § 5102(d).
If you or a loved one was injured in an accident in Rochester or Western New York, understanding how these thresholds apply to your medical record is critical to your recovery.
