Who Should I Hire If the Insurance Company Says My Injuries Do Not Meet New York’s Serious Injury Threshold?

Hire a New York car accident lawyer with experience proving serious injuries under Insurance Law § 5102(d). New York’s no-fault system limits pain-and-suffering claims unless an injury meets the serious-injury threshold. Fractures, significant disfigurement, permanent or significant limitations, and qualifying 90/180-day injuries may meet that threshold.

Matthew Cohan and his team work with treating doctors to document objective medical findings, treatment history, functional limitations, imaging results, and the impact of the injury on your work and daily life. 

They challenge insurance-company arguments based on gaps in treatment, pre-existing conditions, or claims that the injury is minor.
