As the weather finally warms up after what seems like the longest winter ever, many New Yorkers are hitting the streets on a bicycle to get around. As convenient as bicycles are in New York City, they also pose a significant risk because bicyclists and motor vehicle drivers often share the roads. The risk can increase when bicyclists choose to weave in and out of traffic, putting themselves and others around them in danger. If an individual in New York City gets involved in a bicycle accident, they may wonder what insurance options are available to them.
No-fault insurance is beneficial to individuals who are injured in an accident because it obtains compensation for the injured party regardless of whether they were at fault in causing or contributing to the accident. In order to file a no-fault insurance claim in New York City, the injured party will be required to complete the following steps:
- They will have to provide written notice of the accident to the insurance company within 30 days of the accident
- The medical provider of the injured party has to send a bill to the insurance company in no more than 45 days of the date of treatment
