Understanding the Serious Injury Threshold in New York Thruway Accidents
Accidents on high-speed interstate roadways like the I-87 Thruway, especially those resulting in serious injuries, automatically meet the necessary criteria for personal injury claims under New York law. As a no-fault state, New York requires an injured victim to meet the serious injury threshold before they can file a lawsuit against the negligent driver for non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering. The report’s confirmation that two individuals are in serious condition strongly indicates that this threshold has been met.
