No-Fault and Workers Compensation

“Suffering an injury as the result of a work or motor vehicle accident is bad enough without having to worry about medical expenses. I want you to receive treatment for your injuries and/or rule out any serious injuries with a minimum of anxiety on your part. I accept no-fault and have experience evaluating no-fault and workers compensation claims.”

-Dr. Bella Zimilevich, MD

No-Fault Claims

New York has a no-fault law in place in the event that you are involved in an auto accident. No-fault benefits are designed to cover medical expenses for accident victims. State regulations set the reimbursement rates for physicians paid by no-fault.

No-fault insurance may cover:

• medical expenses, such as your physician’s fee
• medications that are prescribed for your condition/injury
• a percentage of lost wages due to an inability to work
• childcare/housekeeping expenses accrued as a result of your injury

These payments are provided to victims of auto accidents regardless of fault, hence the term “no fault”.

Workers Compensation Claims

If you suffer an injury on the job, the cost of any medical expenses or treatment maybe covered by your employer (or their insurance carrier, to be exact). What is important to know is that you must seek medical care as soon as possible after you have been injured. Failure to do so may mean that your medical expenses won’t be covered.
