How Does a Civil Lawsuit for a Car Accident Work in New York?
New York changed its motor vehicle rules in May 2026, and the changes reach cases that were already being worked up. Pure comparative fault no longer applies to auto cases. For actions commenced on or after May 26, 2026, CPLR § 1411(b) bars recovery where the claimant's fault exceeds the defendant's. New York had allowed recovery at any percentage of fault for decades. It still does — for everything except motor vehicle actions under Article 51. The 90/180 threshold category is gone. Serious injury must now be established through fracture, dismemberment, significant disfigurement, permanent loss of use, permanent consequential limitation, significant limitation, loss of a fetus, or death. The category removed was the one that carried borderline cases, because it turned on function rather than imaging. Fault is now decided first. Under the amended § 5104(a), the trier of fact determines liability before reaching the serious injury question. That sequencing changes how a case is tried and what a defendant is willing to offer before it is. A narrow damages cap was added. Section 5104(d) caps non-economic loss at $100,000 for at-fault operators who were uninsured, impaired and convicted, or committing a felony. It does not apply to passengers, pedestrians, or cyclists, and it does not apply in death cases. The date the action was commenced controls. Cases filed before May 26, 2026 proceed under the prior rules.
