You can sue for pain and suffering in New York no question about it. There are some rules and regulations that you have to go through because New York is what they call a no fault state. That means that you will get paid for your medical bills and your lost wages even if the accident is your fault but if the accident is not your fault while you also get paid for your medical bills and you lost wages through the no fault insurance coverage on the car, you could still bring an action for personal injuries if you meet certain criteria.
I want to make one thing certain some people don’t go to the doctor even though they’re in pain because they don’t have medical insurance. If you’re involved in a car accident the car will have medical coverage for that accident. So whether you’re the passenger or the driver, or the pedestrian that is injured, the car will have insurance coverage for you.
If you’re in an accident and you want to bring a lawsuit, you need to have what they deem a serious injury under the law. There’s a lot of things that qualify for serious injuries such as fractures, disfigurements, a loss of a pregnancy, limited use of your hands or your legs, becoming paralyzed and more. If you are out of work for at least 90 days after the accident you will qualify to bring a lawsuit claim and also if there is a death.
