New York personal injury law allows injured parties to seek compensation when someone else’s negligence causes harm. Under NY CPLR Article 14-A, New York follows a pure comparative fault rule. This means you can recover damages even if you are partially at fault, though your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For auto accidents, you must meet the “serious injury” threshold under Insurance Law § 5102 to claim pain and suffering damages. A Car Accident Lawyer Genesee County can evaluate your case.
