New York Personal Injury Law in Brooklyn
New York personal injury law operates under a pure comparative fault system where your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, and auto accident cases must meet the “serious injury” threshold to recover non-economic damages.
Personal injury claims in Kings County are governed by multiple statutes including NY CPLR Article 14-A (comparative fault), Insurance Law § 5102 (serious injury threshold for auto accidents), and CPLR § 1602 (limited liability for non-economic damages). These laws establish the framework for determining liability, calculating damages, and proceeding through the Kings County Supreme Court system.
