What Are NY No-Fault Claims (Insurance Law § 5103 / PIP)? by Keetick L. Sanchez

What Are NY No-Fault Claims (Insurance Law § 5103 / PIP)? by Keetick L. Sanchez NY No-Fault claims under Insurance Law § 5103 explained by Queens car accident lawyer Keetick L. Sanchez of K L Sanchez Law Office, P.C. — know your PIP rights before deadlines pass. After a motor vehicle accident in New York, Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits under Insurance Law § 5103 cover basic economic loss regardless of who caused the crash. Basic No-Fault coverage pays up to $50,000 per eligible injured person for medical expenses — including doctor visits, hospital treatment, surgery, physical therapy, diagnostic testing, and prescription medication — plus 80% of lost earnings up to $2,000 per month for up to three years. A separate $2,000 death benefit is paid to the estate when a covered person dies from accident-related injuries. No-Fault does not compensate injured people for pain and suffering, but in cases involving a serious injury under Insurance Law § 5102(d), a separate personal injury claim against an at-fault driver may be available. Coverage under New York's No-Fault law extends to eligible drivers, passengers, and pedestrians struck by a covered motor vehicle. Household members may also qualify in certain circumstances involving uninsured vehicles or out-of-state accidents. Motorcycle operators and passengers are excluded from standard No-Fault benefits, though pedestrians struck by a motorcycle or all-terrain vehicle can qualify for first-party benefits under the applicable policy. Filing a No-Fault claim requires identifying the responsible insurer, providing written notice of the accident, and submitting a completed NF-2 application form with supporting documentation including medical records and employer verification of lost wages. Medical bills must be submitted to the insurer within 45 days after each treatment, making timely documentation a critical part of any successful claim. When No-Fault claims are delayed, disputed, or denied — or when losses exceed the $50,000 basic coverage limit — Queens car accident attorney Keetick L. Sanchez at K L Sanchez Law Office, P.C. helps injured people in Jackson Heights, Queens, and throughout New York City assert their rights, meet filing deadlines, and evaluate whether a third-party personal injury claim is warranted against the at-fault driver. 🕒 TIMESTAMPS 0:00 NY No-Fault Claims Overview 0:07 What PIP Covers After a Car Accident 0:27 Who Qualifies for No-Fault Benefits 0:39 The $50,000 Basic Coverage Limit 1:03 Lost Earnings Reimbursement (80% Rule) 1:14 Death Benefit Under No-Fault 1:25 Pain and Suffering Not Covered 1:38 How to File a No-Fault Claim 1:50 NF-2 Form and Required Documents 2:12 Motorcycle Exclusions and Pedestrian Rules 2:23 When to Contact a Queens Car Accident Lawyer 🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES NY No-Fault / PIP Claims (Insurance Law § 5103): https://accidentlawyer-queens.com/ins...
