How to Cover Expenses Following a New York Car Accident

March 19, 2014

One of the first questions you may have after a car accident is how you’ll pay for your medical care. The attorneys with William Mattar Law Offices explain there are several options available to help you get the compensation you need for your lost wages and medical bills.

The New York No-Fault Law allows car accident victims unable to work due to their injuries to collect compensation for lost wages. These benefits may be rolled into New York State disability payments and covers up to $2,000 per month or up to 80 percent of lost income, whichever is less. The New York Department of Financial Services explains people who may be excluded are those who were injured while riding or operating a motorcycle.

Dealing with insurance may take time, and many accident victims need money immediately to pay for bills. Filing for unemployment may be a great way to solve this problem. Filing the claim in a timely manner is important as waiting too long may prevent claims from being approved..
