A serious injury resulting from an automobile accident in New York is required in order to file a personal injury lawsuit in a car accident and step out of the no-fault system. To recover damages for pain and suffering and other non-economic damages in a New York car accident, you must prove that you sustained a serious injury as defined by New York law.

Personal Injury that results in:

• Death

• Significant Disfigurement
• Fracture
• Loss of a Fetus
• Permanent Loss of Use of a Body Organ, Member, Function or System
