New York City recorded approximately 91,000 traffic crashes in 2024 according to NYPD data, with 253 traffic fatalities. The Bronx recorded some of the highest crash rates per capita in the five boroughs, with the Cross Bronx Expressway and the Bruckner Expressway among the most dangerous corridors in the city. When insurance companies receive your claim, they immediately begin working to minimize what they pay you. New York's no-fault system and the serious injury threshold are used against injured people every day to limit what they can recover. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
From the Cross Bronx Expressway through East Tremont and Fordham to the Grand Concourse in the South Bronx — we know where New York's most dangerous crashes happen and we know how to build a case around them. When our clients end up at Lincoln Medical Center or Jacobi Medical Center after a serious crash, we know what that treatment means for the value of your case. Those accidents cause real damage to New York families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Insurance companies operating across the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan often use New York's no-fault threshold and delay, deny, and lowball tactics against accident victims from the moment your claim comes in. They use the serious injury threshold as a filter to deny your right to sue for pain and suffering. We know how to leverage the justice system in Bronx County Supreme Court and across New York courts to fight back for what you may be owed.
IMPORTANT NEW YORK LEGAL INFORMATION — CAR ACCIDENTS
Statute of Limitations: 3 years from the accident date.
No-Fault System (Critical): New York is no-fault. You must file a no-fault application with your own insurer within 30 days of the accident. Missing this deadline can cost you immediate PIP coverage.
Serious Injury Threshold: To sue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering, injuries must meet the threshold — fractures, significant disfigurement, permanent limitation, or inability to perform normal activities for 90 out of 180 days.
Government Entity Deadline: MTA bus or city vehicle involvement requires a Notice of Claim within 90 days.
Comparative Negligence: Pure comparative negligence. Recover even if partly at fault.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies may make early low offers and use New York's no-fault threshold to minimize what they pay — counting on most people not knowing whether their injuries qualify to sue for pain and suffering. They may delay, deny, and lowball from the moment your claim comes in. TopDog Law and its co-counsel know how New York's system works and fight for the full recovery available to you.
