New York's no-fault insurance system is designed to ensure that accident victims receive prompt medical treatment and lost wage benefits, regardless of who caused the accident. However, insurance companies frequently deny, delay, or reduce no-fault claims. If you're struggling with a no-fault insurance claim in Queens, our attorneys can help.

Why You Need an Attorney

Under New York's no-fault law, your own auto insurance company is required to pay for medical expenses, a portion of lost wages, and other basic expenses up to $50,000 — regardless of fault. But insurance companies often dispute the necessity of treatment, challenge the extent of injuries, or use technical requirements to deny claims. An experienced no-fault attorney knows how to fight these tactics and protect your benefits.

Important Deadlines

No-fault deadlines in New York are extremely strict. You must file your no-fault application within 30 days of the accident. Medical providers typically have 45 days to submit bills. Missing these deadlines can result in complete denial of your claim.

What if my no-fault claim is denied?
