Car Accident Injury Doctors in New York
Hurt in a car accident in New York? Our board-certified pain management and orthopedic team treats crash injuries — neck, back, and joint pain — and works with your No-Fault coverage so you can focus on healing.
How No-Fault Coverage Works in New York
New York is a no-fault state. After a car accident, medical care for your injuries is generally paid through the No-Fault coverage on the vehicle’s auto insurance — regardless of who caused the crash. You don’t have to prove fault to start treatment.
One important New York rule: a No-Fault application usually must be filed with the insurer within 30 days of the accident. We can help you understand what’s needed and coordinate with your insurer and attorney.
Crash Injuries We Treat
- Whiplash and neck pain
- Back injuries, including herniated and bulging discs
- Sciatica and radiating nerve pain
- Shoulder, knee, and hip injuries
- Sprains, strains, and soft-tissue injuries
- Pinched and compressed nerves
Feeling “okay” after a crash? Whiplash and disc injuries often surface hours or days later — and New York’s 30-day filing window means acting early matters.
