Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents

Our attorneys at Reiff Law have answered some of the most common questions clients ask about car accidents in New York.

What makes a car accident case complex in New York?

New York is a no-fault insurance state. Your own insurer typically covers medical bills and a portion of lost wages (Personal Injury Protection or “PIP”) regardless of fault, up to policy limits. To bring a lawsuit against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering, you generally must meet the state’s “serious injury” threshold. Coordinating PIP, property damage, and potential third-party claims can be complicated—especially when multiple insurers are involved.

What are the common causes of car accidents in New York City?

Distracted driving (texting, app use, in-car screens)
Speeding and aggressive driving
Failure to yield, unsafe lane changes, and red-light running
Impaired driving (alcohol or drugs)
Poor vehicle maintenance or defective parts
Dangerous road conditions and limited visibility

We investigate the facts to identify every responsible party and maximize your recovery.

What injuries are common after a car crash?

Neck and back trauma, including whiplash and herniated discs
Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries
Fractures, torn ligaments, and soft-tissue injuries
Internal injuries and organ damage
Psychological injuries, including anxiety and PTSD

What should I do if the other driver’s insurance adjuster contacts me?

Be cautious. Do not give a recorded statement, speculate about fault, or discuss your injuries before speaking with an attorney. Refer the adjuster to Reiff Law. Insurers aim to minimize payouts; we protect your claim and handle communications on your behalf.
