What You Should Know about No-Fault

What You Should Know about No-Fault for Queens Car Accidents

What is No-Fault? If you are injured in a Queens car accident, you are entitled to No-Fault benefits which will pay for your medical treatment, drugs, medical appliances, other medical expenses, household help and lost wages. The minimum coverage required under New York law is $50,000, but may be more.  If you have been injured in a car accident or even getting into or getting out of a parked car, medical treatment for your injuries must be paid by no-fault.

How to file an application for no-fault benefits: (Just call 1-800-HURT-911 and I will do it for you).  A claim for no-fault benefits must be filed within 30 days of your accident!  No-Fault benefits are usually (but not always) paid by the car insurance company for the car you were sitting in at the time of the accident.  If you were a pedestrian struck by a car in Queens, No-Fault benefits will be paid by the insurance company for the car that hit you.  Sometimes it can be difficult to determine which insurance company is the No-Fault insurance company or whether your benefits will be paid by worker’s compensation.   Be sure to tell me if you are working at the time of your accident because your medical bills may be covered by workers compensation instead of no-fault if you were working at the time of your car accident.

Some Queens lawyers will not help you with no-fault or disability claims or will charge you if they do.  If you have been injured in a Queens car accident, you don’t have to do anything except call 1-800-HURT-911.   I will file your claim for no-fault benefits, fill out and file your application for no-fault benefits; handle your claim for lost wages; and take care of all of your no-fault billing issues with your doctors, without any additional charge.
