Are there time limits on when I can file for no-fault benefits?

If you are considering making a claim for no-fault benefits, you must be aware of the strict time limitations. In order to obtain no-fault benefits, you must file a written application with the appropriate insurance company within thirty (30) days of the accident. If you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, in your very first discussion with your insurance company after the accident, you should request that they send you the proper New York State no-fault application. If you feel you have not received proper benefits, call Lipsitz & Ponterio, LLC. We can provide legal representation for your no-fault benefits and investigate a civil claim for personal injuries under New York State laws. It is important that you contact our firm to schedule a free consultation as soon as possible after being involved in an automobile accident.
