Running a successful personal injury and no-fault insurance practice requires balancing multiple demanding responsibilities. While maintaining this blog is a priority for sharing insights on New York’s complex no-fault insurance system, the realities of active litigation sometimes take precedence.

The life of a trial attorney involves unpredictable schedules, especially when handling complex cases that can extend well beyond their anticipated timeframes. Between courtroom appearances, appellate work, client consultations, and the administrative demands of managing a law firm, finding time for regular content creation can be challenging.

This brief update from 2014 offers readers a glimpse into the day-to-day realities of practicing New York no-fault insurance law and personal injury litigation. It demonstrates the commitment required to effectively represent clients while also educating the legal community and public about important developments in insurance law.

Jason Tenenbaum’s Analysis:

To my readers: I am sorry for the two plus week delay in postings. I am already hearing and reading about it.

I have no intention of closing down this blog. For your information, I was caught up in a nasty trial in Riverhead for that went too long and have spent this week (16 hour days) clearing out appeals, motions and other tasks that involve my full time job, i.e., running a law firm. Unfortunately, I have to be a real trial attorney every so often and locate my suits that thankfully still fit me. It interferes with the blog writing.

Thank your for your understanding and patience.

Jason

Key Takeaway

This personal note illustrates the demanding nature of trial practice and law firm management. Even experienced attorneys face scheduling challenges when complex litigation extends beyond expectations, requiring 16-hour days to manage appeals, motions, and other critical legal work while maintaining client representation standards.

Legal Update (February 2026): Since this 2014 post, New York’s no-fault insurance regulations have undergone several amendments, including updates to reimbursement schedules, procedural requirements for claim submissions, and medical provider certification standards. Practitioners should verify current provisions of the New York Insurance Law and corresponding regulations, as fee schedules and administrative procedures have been modified multiple times over the past decade.
