Is New York is a No-Fault State? Can I Still Pursue Legal Action?

New York is a no-fault state. However, it’s important to note that this doesn’t mean that a driver can’t be held responsible for their actions. It rather refers to insurance policies. When drivers are involved in an accident, each person’s insurance company will pay for the damage meaning your insurance policy will cover your medical expenses up to the limits of the policy.

In the case that a victim has met the seriously injured threshold, New York State law allows the injured victim to file a complaint against the at-fault driver. Legal action can be pursued if they suffered broken bones, limb damage, traumatic brain injury, traumatic spine injury and death.
