Please keep the following in mind while using this site.
Not legal advice
Our guides describe New York crash law and Buffalo procedures in general terms. The 2026 auto reform is new, and courts are still working out how it applies. Before relying on anything here, get advice from a lawyer admitted in New York about your particular facts.
No attorney-client relationship
Elmwood Village Accident Lawyers is a directory, not a law firm. Using the site, sending a form or contacting an attorney through it doesn’t make anyone your lawyer. An attorney’s presence here isn’t an endorsement.
Confirm attorney details
Lawyers change offices, phone numbers and fee terms. Check with the office directly, and confirm registration through the New York courts’ attorney search.
Outcomes vary
Explanations of no-fault, the serious injury threshold, fault and settlement value describe how things usually work. They aren’t predictions for any claim.
Deadlines
Some New York deadlines are very short, like 10 days for the MV-104 and 90 days for a notice of claim against the city, county or NFTA. Track your own deadlines with a lawyer’s help.
