Lawsuits resulting from car accidents, truck or any auto accident are more difficult than you would think. There are many requirements that a person injured by an automobile accident must comply with to be compensated for their injuries. First, an injured accident victim must file a No Fault Insurance application with the insurance company responsible for paying the injured victim’s medical bills. That application must be filed within 30 days of the accident.
Next, to have a successful lawsuit, an injured person must meet the applicable No Fault Threshold requirement. That means that a victim of a truck accident or a car accident must have a serious injury as that term is defined by the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law. In general, a “serious injury” is an injury that forces the victim to be out of work for 90 days of the first 180 days after the accident or is an injury that produces a permanent partial or complete loss of use of a body part or function.
There are many situations in which a person believes they have been the victim of a serious injury only to be told later by a judge that they don’t qualify and their case is tossed out of court with no money compensation being paid.

One example is the case in which our client received a cash payment of $1,500,000.00 for her injuries resulting from a motor vehicle accident. Plaintiff, a 33 year-old nurse, was driving to work when a wheel of her car went off the right side of the road and dropped eight inches into an area of the road shoulder that had been cut away by the road contractor. Plaintiff lost control of her car which became airborne and struck an oncoming truck head on. Plaintiff's injuries included a fractured femur, ruptured medial collateral ligament and facial lacerations.
