New York's "Serious Injury" Threshold

In New York, you can only sue for pain and suffering in car accident cases if your injury meets the "serious injury" threshold defined in Insurance Law §5102(d). This includes:

  • Death
  • Dismemberment
  • Significant disfigurement
  • Fracture(any bone break)
  • Loss of a fetus
  • Permanent loss of use of a body organ, member, function, or system
  • Permanent consequential limitation of a body organ or member
  • Significant limitation of a body function or system

A former category covering a medically determined injury that prevented usual activities for 90 of the 180 days after the accident no longer applies to lawsuits filed on or after May 26, 2026, when Bill A10008 repealed it.

Many injuries that feel serious to you may not automatically qualify. Our attorneys evaluate your case to determine if your injuries meet this threshold and build the strongest possible claim.
