After a motor vehicle accident, most people assume that the at-fault driver\u2019s insurance will cover their medical expenses. In New York, however, your own insurance is responsible for paying your medical bills\u2014regardless of who caused the accident. This law helps ensure that you get the care you need right away, without delays caused by disputes over fault.But here\u2019s where it gets tricky\u2014and where experienced legal help is essential. Just because your medical expenses are covered doesn’t mean you\u2019ve been made whole. What about your pain and suffering, the disruption to your life, and the lasting effects of your injuries?

That\u2019s why working with a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer is not just helpful, it\u2019s crucial.Don\u2019t wait to understand your rights.
