How New York No-Fault Works After a Crash

New York is a no-fault state. If you are injured in a car accident, your own auto policy’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) — up to the standard $50,000 basic coverage — pays for reasonable and necessary medical treatment, no matter who was at fault. The catch is timing and paperwork: a no-fault application (form NF-2) generally must be filed within 30 days of the accident, and your treatment has to be documented correctly for the carrier to keep paying. We handle that side for you.

Move quickly. The 30-day no-fault filing window is short. The sooner you are evaluated, the easier it is to protect both your health and your benefits.

Who We Help

We treat drivers, passengers, and anyone covered under a New York auto policy who was hurt in a collision — from rear-end crashes on the Long Island Expressway to intersection accidents on local roads. If you have neck, back, or joint pain after a crash, even if it started days later, it is worth getting checked.

How We Treat Accident Injuries

We start with the least invasive option that can solve the problem and only step up if needed. For many injuries that means physical therapy and targeted medication first, then image-guided injections such as epidural steroid injections or radiofrequency ablation when appropriate, and minimally invasive spine or orthopedic procedures — like knee arthroscopy or rotator cuff repair — only when conservative care is not enough. Common accident injuries we treat include herniated and bulging discs, neck and whiplash injuries, sprains and strains, joint injuries, and pinched or irritated nerves.

Where We Serve on Long Island

No-fault claims move faster when you see a specialist who knows the process. You can be seen close to home at one of our Long Island offices: Plainview and New Hyde Park in Nassau County, and Ronkonkoma in Suffolk County. Because interventional pain management, spine, and orthopedics are all under one roof, you can move between specialists without a separate referral.

What to Expect

Your first visit starts with a full evaluation and, when needed, imaging to confirm the diagnosis. We open your no-fault claim, submit the required forms, and document every visit so your PIP benefits keep flowing. Our goal is simple: get you the right treatment and keep your recovery — not paperwork — at the center.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does no-fault cover my treatment if the accident was my fault?

Yes. New York no-fault (PIP) pays for reasonable and necessary medical care after a car accident regardless of who was at fault, up to your policy limits.

How long do I have to file a no-fault claim in New York?

The no-fault application is generally due within 30 days of the accident. Seeing a doctor and starting the paperwork early helps protect your benefits.

What if my pain started a few days after the crash?

That is common with whiplash and soft-tissue injuries. Get evaluated as soon as symptoms appear, and let your provider document that the injury is related to the accident.

Do I need a lawyer to be treated under no-fault?

No. You do not need an attorney to receive no-fault medical care. If you are pursuing an injury claim beyond your PIP benefits, an attorney can advise you separately.
