Can I sue or does NY no fault prevent me?

July 1, 2014

Question

I was driving my car and stopped waiting for the car in front of me to turn, when suddenly I was rear ended (hit from the back) by another car. My car was severely damaged in BOTH, the back from getting hit and as a result, I hit the car in front of me. We have a police report. All 3 parties have insurance, and it was determined that the initial car was 100% liable. Insurance covered the damage to my car, but I am still in physical therapy and paying medical bills from the hit. Can I recover additional money here?

Answer

Yes; not only are you NOT prevented from bringing a Bodily Injury claim, but you should also be getting your medical bills paid for by no-fault insurance. Call an experienced New York personal injury lawyer - there are deadlines to consider.
