New York Personal Injury Law and the Serious Injury Threshold
Under New York Insurance Law § 5102, you must demonstrate a “serious injury” to recover non-economic damages like pain and suffering in a car accident case. A serious injury includes death, dismemberment, significant disfigurement, fracture, loss of a fetus, permanent loss of use of a body organ, member, function or system, or a medically determined injury or impairment of a non-permanent nature which prevents you from performing substantially all of your daily activities for at least 90 of the 180 days immediately following the accident. New York follows a pure comparative fault rule under CPLR Article 14-A, meaning your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Founded in 1997 by Mr. Sris, former prosecutor — Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C., “Advocacy Without Borders,” brings 120+ years combined legal experience to every case.
