New York crash law has more moving parts than most states. There’s no-fault insurance and the serious injury threshold, a 2026 reform that rewrote the fault rule for many cases, and a 90-day notice deadline for anything involving the city, the county or the NFTA. These guides take them one at a time, with links to the statutes and agency pages behind each rule.
Others focus on Buffalo itself, including the Elmwood Village, the Scajaquada and the Kensington, lake-effect snow and truck traffic around the Peace Bridge.
