In 1974, New York State implemented “No-Fault” insurance legislation to compensate people who have been involved in an automobile accident. Originally, no-fault insurance was intended to simplify the legal process for people injured in automobile accidents, however, insurance companies can make the process of filing a claim quite complicated. By making mistakes in this process, auto accident victims can often lose money owed to them. In addition, victims who have been seriously injured in automobile accidents may have the amount of their compensation limited to what they can claim for no-fault insurance. Ultimately, understanding how no-fault insurance works is very important for everyone involved in a car accident in New York.
