Anyone injured in a motor vehicle accident in NY is automatically entitled to no fault benefits. No Fault is primary insurance and your private insurance company will not pay once they find out it is auto accident related injury. You must report the accident to your automobile insurance carrier and be sure to submit your application for no fault benefits within 30 days of the accident. Hope this helps. Jeffrey M. Rich, Esq.
