New York No-Fault Collections Law
The Rozhik Law Firm: New York No-Fault Collections Lawyer in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, and Bronx
You hear the concept of no-fault law all the time but what does it mean exactly? In a no fault matter, certain expenses associated with your car accident are covered by the insurance provider for the car in which you are in. In the event that the car you were in during the accident, or the car which struck you while you were walking outside did not carry any insurance but you or a family member within your household carries insurance, that will be considered the no-fault insurance carrier. As the name suggests, you are likely entitled to a financial and economic benefit no matter if you were at fault or not but typically a law suit would need to be filed. In the state of New York, an auto insurance policy must carry the standard limit of $50,000 per person when it comes to no-fault matters.
Helpful Tips For The No-Fault Process
We advise you speak with an attorney when it comes to the no-fault process. Our law firm can handle the matter for you. We can set you up with a consultation immediately. Our number is 917-567-1963.
The following are some helpful tips for the no-fault process:
-To qualify for no-fault benefits, you would need to file the No-Fault Application Form with whomever the insurance carrier is of the vehicle that you were inside of during the accident. In the event that you were a pedestrian, ideally you would want to send this form out to insurance carrier of the car which struck you as well as your own insurance carrier if you have one. There are specific time constraints in filing a claim.
-As mentioned, the time constraints are rather urgent and require your action immediately. You have thirty (30) days from when the date of the car accident happened to file a claim. You must not delay this matter. If you are certain you will not make this deadline, our car accident law firm can help you with the claim. Filing this form will give you added protection to your rights. Even if your injuries are minor or you believe they will heal quickly – this shouldn’t matter. The slightest inconvenience in your life should be compensated for – especially if you weren’t at fault. If you file this form, remember that you are not obligated to go through with the claim. But you at least now have the option if you wish to pursue your case through the end.
-Being careful is key. Ensure that the correct insurance company is notified. Speak with the driver of the car that committed the accident. Take a photo of their insurance card using your phone if you need to. The police report may also document the insurance provider that the driver holds. Our law firm can intervene in this situation as well if you are having trouble finding out who the insurance carrier is of the driver at-fault.
-If because of the accident you are dealing with lost wages, your employer will need to get involved. They will have ninety (90) days to send in proof of lost wages and disability. The law typically allows you to receive 80% of your wages that are related to your car accident with a maximum of $2,000 a month. The time frame that you can receive these benefits cannot exceed three (3) years.
