Can You Get Pain and Suffering Compensation in a No-Fault State?

Yes, even in a no-fault state like New York, you can get compensation for pain and suffering or emotional distress.

In New York, no-fault means that up to $50,000 of medical bills are covered by your own insurance company after a car accident.

If you suffered severe injuries due to another driver’s negligence, medical expenses may surpass the $50,000 no-fault coverage. A personal injury lawsuit is an option to seek compensation for non-economic damages like pain and suffering.

How Pain and Suffering Is Calculated in Personal Injury Lawsuits

Your personal injury lawyer will take the following into account to calculate pain and suffering:

The severity and extent of your injuries
The level of pain you are experiencing
The long-term impact on your life and daily activities
Emotional effects (anxiety, fear, or depression)
Cost of future treatment for pain and suffering
Physical limitations resulting from the crash
