Key Takeaways
- In April 2015, attorney Jason Tenenbaum moved his New York no-fault insurance law blog — running since 2009 — onto the firm’s own website.
- The migration preserved six years of case notes and analysis and set the foundation for the site as it exists today.
- The site has since grown into a full resource: decision write-ups, a Legal Encyclopedia, and practice pages covering no-fault defense and personal injury.
- This post is the original welcome note, kept intact as a record of where the project started.
After years of providing valuable insights through his blog, attorney Jason Tenenbaum made the significant transition to his own dedicated website in 2015. This move represented a natural evolution for a legal practice that had been sharing expertise in New York No-Fault Insurance Law since 2009. The migration allowed for expanded functionality and better organization of the extensive legal analysis that readers had come to expect.
The timing of this transition coincided with significant developments in no-fault insurance litigation, including ongoing issues with insurance fraud cases and evolving procedural requirements that would continue to shape the practice area in subsequent years.

Thank you for following my blog to my website. This was five years coming to say the least. Most of the functionality of the old blog will be coming to this site.
As to the website and porting this blog, many thanks to my friend and IT guru Lawrence Garnier. We go back from when I was an associate at Serpe, Andree & Kaufman (2003) and he was the computer guy there. 12 years later… (wow) look at where we all are. Neither of us has aged…(that would be a lie).
More content will follow as always. Please give us a few weeks while we tweek the bugs and other infirmities that welcome a new site.
Thank you following this blog since its inception in 2009

Where the Blog Came From
The blog began in 2009 as a running commentary on New York no-fault insurance decisions — the steady stream of Appellate Division, Appellate Term, and trial-level rulings that govern how first-party benefit disputes between medical providers and insurance carriers actually get decided. No-fault is a high-volume, technically demanding corner of New York practice, and the decisions that shape it often arrive as short memorandum opinions that are easy to miss and hard to put in context.
That was the gap the blog filled: a practitioner reading the decisions as they came down, quoting the operative language, and saying plainly what each ruling meant for carriers, providers, and the lawyers who represent them. By the time of the 2015 migration, that approach had produced six years of archived case notes covering IME no-shows, proof of mailing, medical necessity and peer review, statutory interest, and the rest of the recurring battlegrounds of no-fault litigation.
What the Site Has Become
The 2015 move turned a standalone blog into the front door of the Law Office of Jason Tenenbaum, P.C., a Long Island firm whose work centers on no-fault insurance defense and personal injury. The promise in the welcome note — “more content will follow as always” — held up. The archive now spans well over a decade of decision coverage, organized so that readers can follow a doctrine across years of rulings rather than one case at a time.
Two additions deserve particular mention for anyone landing on this page today:
- The Legal Encyclopedia collects the firm’s explanatory articles on New York insurance and injury law topics, written for lawyers, claims professionals, medical providers, and injured people alike.
- The practice pages describe the firm’s core work, including no-fault defense for insurance carriers and personal injury representation for injured New Yorkers.
The case-note format that started in 2009 continues: quote the decision, explain the doctrine, and say what it means in practice.
Why Keep This Post?
A welcome post from 2015 is, admittedly, a historical artifact. It stays up for the same reason a firm keeps its first letterhead: it documents the project’s continuity. Readers who found the blog in its early years still cite it, and the post records the milestone — and the thanks owed to the people, like Lawrence Garnier, who helped move six years of content without losing it.
If you arrived here searching for Jason Tenenbaum, the most useful starting points are the firm’s home page, the Legal Encyclopedia, and the practice pages linked below.

Legal Context
Why This Matters for Your Case
New York's no-fault insurance system, established under Insurance Law Article 51, is one of the most complex insurance frameworks in the country. Every motorist must carry Personal Injury Protection coverage that pays medical expenses and lost wages regardless of fault, up to $50,000 per person.
But insurers routinely deny valid claims using peer reviews, EUO scheduling tactics, fee schedule reductions, and coverage defenses. The Law Office of Jason Tenenbaum has handled over 100,000 no-fault cases since 2002 — from initial claim submissions through arbitration before the American Arbitration Association, trials in Civil Court and Supreme Court, and appeals to the Appellate Term and Appellate Division. Jason Tenenbaum is one of the few attorneys in the state who both writes his own appellate briefs and tries his own cases.
His 2,353+ published legal articles on no-fault practice are cited by attorneys throughout New York. Whether you are dealing with a medical necessity denial, an EUO no-show defense, a fee schedule dispute, or a coverage question, this article provides the kind of detailed case-law analysis that helps practitioners and claimants understand exactly where the law stands.
About This Topic
New York No-Fault Insurance Law
New York's no-fault insurance system requires every driver to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage that pays medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who caused the accident. But insurers routinely deny, delay, and underpay valid claims — using peer reviews, IME no-shows, and fee schedule defenses to avoid paying providers and injured claimants. Attorney Jason Tenenbaum has litigated thousands of no-fault arbitrations and court cases since 2002.

New York law varies by jurisdiction — court decisions in one Appellate Division department may not be followed in another, and local court rules in Nassau County Supreme Court differ from those in Suffolk County Supreme Court, Kings County Civil Court, or Queens County Supreme Court. The Appellate Division, Second Department (which covers Long Island, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island) and the Appellate Term (which hears appeals from lower courts) each have distinct procedural requirements and precedents that affect litigation strategy.
