Even if the motor vehicle accident appears to be your fault, you still have the legal right to advance a claim for accident benefits, also known as a no-fault claim.

Accident benefits are available to you regardless of whether you were driving a motor vehicle, were a passenger in a motor vehicle or were a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle. It’s important to speak to a car accident lawyer to understand your rights.

You may be entitled to one or more of the following accident benefits: (i) medical and rehabilitation benefits (ii) income replacement benefits (iii) housekeeping benefits (iv) attendant care benefits (v) caregiving benefits (vi) non-earner benefits (v) education expenses (vi) travel expenses of family members, and (vii) funeral and death benefits.

The types of accident benefits you are entitled to and the monetary limits of those benefits depends on what your automobile insurance policy says. This depends on what type of coverage you have paid for as part of your auto insurance premium. At Himelfarb Proszanski we can review your policy and your particular circumstances to ensure you receive all the benefits you are entitled to.

In certain cases, you may still have the right to advance a tort claim against the other party/parties involved in the motor vehicle accident even where the accident appears to be your fault.
