premises liability claims

New York No Fault Claims

After most motor vehicle accidents in New York, you may file a No-Fault claim to obtain lost wages incurred and to have your medical bills arising from the accident paid by the appropriate Insurance company.

Insurance companies frequently make it difficult to obtain No-Fault benefits. Not all law firms will file the No-Fault claim on behalf of their clients. But we do! The Law Offices of Robert A. Hyams have been handling No-Fault claims for decades and we are successful in making the Insurance Companies pay the claim.
