Key Takeaway
New York's 2026 no-fault reform removed the 90/180-day serious injury category. What a concussion or TBI claim must now show under Insurance Law § 5102(d).

This article was published April 20, 2026. Law changed May 26, 2026: Part EE of chapter 58 of the Laws of 2026 deleted the 90/180-day category from Insurance Law § 5102(d), directed the trier of fact to decide fault before serious injury under Insurance Law § 5104(a), added a mostly-at-fault bar as CPLR 1411(b), and capped non-economic loss at $100,000 for specified at-fault drivers under Insurance Law § 5104(d), all for actions commenced on or after May 26, 2026. Actions commenced before that date proceed under the earlier text, including the 90/180-day category. Revised September 22, 2026 to state the current rule.
Part EE of chapter 58 of the Laws of 2026, signed May 26, 2026, rewrote the serious injury threshold for lawsuits after a New York car accident. Insurance Law § 5102(d) no longer lists the 90/180-day category. For an action commenced on or after May 26, 2026, a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury claim must fit one of the eight categories that remain, and the jury decides fault before it decides injury. A plaintiff whose own fault is greater than the defendants’ recovers nothing. First-party no-fault benefits did not change. This is the practitioner guide to the enacted text and to what a concussion claimant should do now.
Governor Kathy Hochul signed the FY 2027 budget on May 26, 2026. Part EE of that budget, chapter 58 of the Laws of 2026 (S9008-C, substituted by A10008-C), amended Insurance Law § 5102(d) and § 5104 and CPLR 1411. Section 4 of Part EE makes the amendments effective immediately and “applicable to all actions and proceedings commenced on or after such date.”
When this article first ran, the package was a proposal, and the public discussion centered on an “objective medical evidence” standard. The enacted text contains no such standard. It changes which injuries count as serious, the order in which a jury decides the questions, and what a plaintiff’s own fault does to the claim. Each change lands hardest on the concussion and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) claimant, for reasons explained below.
What Are the Enacted No-Fault Reforms?
Part EE made four changes. Each is stated here in the words of the enacted text.

The 90/180-day category is gone
Insurance Law § 5102(d) now reads: “‘Serious injury’ means a personal injury which results in death; dismemberment; significant disfigurement; a fracture; loss of a fetus; permanent loss of use of a body organ, member, function or system; permanent consequential limitation of use of a body organ or member; or significant limitation of use of a body function or system.”
The deleted ninth category was “a medically determined injury or impairment of a non-permanent nature which prevents the injured person from performing substantially all of the material acts which constitute such person’s usual and customary daily activities for not less than ninety days during the one hundred eighty days immediately following the occurrence of the injury or impairment.” That category still governs an action commenced before May 26, 2026. It does not exist for an action commenced on or after that date.
Fault is decided first
Insurance Law § 5104(a) now carries two added sentences: “No liability for non-economic loss shall be fixed unless and until the trier of fact has determined the existence of a serious injury. In any action to recover non-economic loss pursuant to this article, the trier of fact shall not determine the question of whether an injury is a serious injury until the trier of fact has determined the party or parties at fault.”
Here is what that means. The jury decides who was at fault before it reaches the injury. A plaintiff who loses on fault never gets to the serious injury question.
A plaintiff more at fault than the defendant recovers nothing
CPLR 1411(b), added by Part EE, provides: “In any action to recover damages for personal injury subject to article fifty-one of the insurance law, the culpable conduct attributable to the claimant shall bar recovery if the culpable conduct attributable to the claimant is greater than the culpable conduct of the person against whom recovery is sought or is greater than the combined culpable conduct of the persons against whom recovery is sought.”
CPLR 1411(a) still reduces damages in proportion to the plaintiff’s fault in every other kind of case, and in a motor vehicle case where the plaintiff’s share is not greater than the defendants’. A plaintiff found 50 percent at fault against a single defendant recovers half. A plaintiff found 51 percent at fault recovers nothing.
A $100,000 cap for specified at-fault drivers
Insurance Law § 5104(d) limits recovery for non-economic loss to $100,000, other than in an action for injuries resulting in death, “in any action by or on behalf of an injured person who is at fault, is not barred from recovery by section fourteen hundred eleven of the civil practice law and rules,” and who was (1) operating an uninsured motor vehicle that the person was responsible for insuring under Vehicle and Traffic Law article 6, unless the lapse in coverage was shorter than thirty days; (2) operating a motor vehicle while impaired at the time of the accident and convicted of it; or (3) operating a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony, or immediate flight from one, and convicted of that felony.
A driver who was not at fault is outside § 5104(d). A pedestrian or passenger is outside it. The cap reaches only the at-fault driver in one of the three listed situations.
What Part EE does not say
Part EE contains no imaging requirement, no list of accepted diagnostic tests, no rule on the weight of a treating physician’s opinion, and no change to first-party benefits. Basic economic loss under Insurance Law § 5102(a) is still up to $50,000 per person, and the deadlines in the prescribed endorsement, 11 NYCRR 65-1.1, are unchanged. The three-year limitations period in CPLR 214(5) is unchanged. Anything you read that makes “objective imaging” a condition of recovery describes the debate, not the statute.
Before and After: the Concussion-Claim Threshold Side by Side
| Element | Actions commenced before May 26, 2026 | Actions commenced on or after May 26, 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Serious injury categories, Insurance Law § 5102(d) | Nine, including the 90/180-day category | Eight; the 90/180-day category is deleted |
| Categories a concussion claim most often relies on | 90/180-day; significant limitation of use of a body function or system; permanent consequential limitation of use of a body organ or member | Significant limitation of use of a body function or system; permanent consequential limitation of use of a body organ or member |
| Order of decision at trial | No sequencing rule in § 5104(a) | § 5104(a): fault first, then serious injury, then non-economic loss |
| Plaintiff’s own fault | CPLR 1411: damages reduced in proportion, never barred | CPLR 1411(b): barred if the plaintiff’s culpable conduct is greater than the defendant’s, or than the defendants’ combined; otherwise reduced in proportion under CPLR 1411(a) |
| Cap on pain and suffering | None by statute | § 5104(d): $100,000 for the at-fault driver who was uninsured, impaired and convicted, or convicted of a felony committed at the time; not in death actions |
| First-party benefits, Insurance Law § 5102(a) | Up to $50,000 basic economic loss | Unchanged |
| First-party deadlines, 11 NYCRR 65-1.1 | Notice within 30 days; bills within 45 days of service; wage proof within 90 days | Unchanged |
| Statute of limitations | Three years, CPLR 214(5) | Unchanged |
The practical impact for Long Island concussion claimants is this. The category that asked only whether the injury kept you from substantially all of your usual activities for 90 of the first 180 days is closed to any action filed from May 26, 2026 forward. A concussion claim now has to prove a limitation of use that is “significant” or “permanent consequential,” in the statute’s words, and it has to survive the fault question first.
Why Concussion Claims Are Particularly Vulnerable
Not every serious injury category fits a concussion. Death, dismemberment, significant disfigurement, a fracture and loss of a fetus describe injuries a concussion is not. What remains is permanent loss of use, permanent consequential limitation of use of a body organ or member, and significant limitation of use of a body function or system. Each of those requires proof of the limitation and proof that the collision caused it.
Before May 26, 2026 the 90/180-day category gave a concussion claimant a route that did not depend on a permanent or measured limitation. It asked what the injured person could not do for 90 of the first 180 days. For an action commenced on or after May 26, 2026 that route is closed; therefore, the medical proof of limitation, and the record showing when the limitation began and how long it lasted, decide whether the claim survives the threshold.
The Diagnostic Challenge
A concussion is diagnosed by clinical examination. Its symptoms are cognitive (memory, concentration), physical (headache, dizziness, balance, sensitivity to light and sound), emotional (mood, irritability, anxiety) and sleep-related. A CT scan or a standard MRI is often normal in a patient with those symptoms. That is a medical description, not a legal rule. Nothing in Insurance Law § 5102(d) names any test, and nothing in Part EE added one.
Current Diagnostic Standards vs. the Enacted Requirement
The physician decides how to diagnose; the statute decides what the diagnosis must show. The remaining categories use the words “loss of use” and “limitation of use,” qualified by “permanent,” “permanent consequential” and “significant.” Treating records that describe the limitation, measure it where it can be measured, and connect it to the collision are the proof those words call for. A record that lists symptoms and describes no limitation does not use the statute’s language, and the defense will say so on a motion.
The Real-World Impact on Accident Victims
Consider a typical scenario. Maria, a Nassau County teacher, suffers a concussion in a rear-end collision on the Long Island Expressway. Her initial CT scan is normal. She has headaches and memory problems, and she cannot concentrate well enough to teach.
Her first-party benefits do not depend on any of this. Under Insurance Law § 5103(a) the insurer of the car she was in pays her first-party benefits, meaning her medical expenses and lost earnings within the $50,000 basic economic loss limit of Insurance Law § 5102(a), without regard to fault or to the serious injury threshold. The threshold governs her lawsuit against the other driver for pain and suffering.
In an action commenced before May 26, 2026, Maria could plead the 90/180-day category if the concussion kept her from substantially all of her usual daily activities for 90 of the first 180 days. In an action commenced on or after May 26, 2026, that category is unavailable. Her claim must show a significant limitation of use of a body function or system, or a permanent consequential limitation, and her neurologist’s records must document that limitation.
Financial Consequences for Families
The threshold controls one thing: recovery for non-economic loss, meaning pain and suffering. Insurance Law § 5104(a) bars a covered person from recovering basic economic loss in the lawsuit, because the first-party insurer pays it, and bars non-economic loss unless there is a serious injury. Economic loss above the $50,000 basic economic loss limit, for example lost earnings beyond $2,000 per month or beyond three years, remains recoverable in the lawsuit whether or not the injury is serious.
A concussion claimant who cannot fit one of the eight remaining categories keeps the first-party benefits and the claim for excess economic loss, and loses the claim for pain and suffering. For a family whose largest loss is the months of headaches and lost concentration, that is the loss the statute now puts out of reach unless the records prove a qualifying limitation.
How the Changes Affect Different Types of Brain Injuries
Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)
An mTBI with normal imaging and documented functional limits was the classic 90/180-day claim. For an action commenced on or after May 26, 2026, the claim rests on “significant limitation of use of a body function or system,” which requires the record to describe the limitation and not only the symptoms.
Post-Concussion Syndrome
Symptoms that persist for months are documented over time. For the “permanent consequential limitation” and “permanent loss of use” categories the record must support permanence; for “significant limitation” it must support the degree of the limitation. Continuous treatment records carry that proof. A gap in treatment will be argued as evidence that the limitation ended.
Second Impact Syndrome
A second concussion before recovery from the first can cause a far more serious injury. Where the result is a permanent loss of use of a body function or system, the claim fits the “permanent loss of use” category. Where the result is death, the first words of Insurance Law § 5102(d) are met, and the $100,000 cap in § 5104(d) does not apply, because the cap excludes “an action for damages for injuries resulting in death.”
The Insurance Industry’s Perspective
The governor’s press release announcing the budget described the auto insurance provisions as better defining serious injury so that damages for pain and suffering go to those able to objectively demonstrate a serious injury, and as capping payouts for drivers engaged in criminal behavior at the time of the incident. The word “objectively” does not appear in Part EE. The test is the eight categories in Insurance Law § 5102(d), as written. The industry’s own reading of the enacted text is covered in DFS Told Insurers What NY Auto Tort Reform Really Means.
Carrier procedure for first-party benefits did not change. A denial of no-fault benefits still runs through the same no-fault defense process: the insurer must pay or deny within 30 calendar days after it receives proof of claim under 11 NYCRR 65-3.8(c), the claimant may submit the dispute to arbitration under Insurance Law § 5106(b) or sue, and an arbitrator’s award is subject to the review Insurance Law § 5106(c) provides. Part EE moved the substantive threshold for the tort action; it did not touch the first-party claim.
Legal Implications for Personal Injury Cases
Changes to Case Strategy
Four things change in how a concussion case is built for an action commenced on or after May 26, 2026.
Plead the category the proof supports. The bill of particulars should name “significant limitation of use of a body function or system” or “permanent consequential limitation of use of a body organ or member,” and the medical records should use the same words.
Build the fault case as if it were the whole case. Under Insurance Law § 5104(a) the jury decides fault before injury; under CPLR 1411(b) a plaintiff whose fault is greater than the defendants’ recovers nothing. Scene photographs, the police report, event data recorder downloads and witness statements now decide whether the jury ever reaches the injury.
Check the plaintiff against Insurance Law § 5104(d). If the plaintiff was driving uninsured, was impaired and convicted, or was convicted of a felony committed at the time of the accident, pain and suffering is capped at $100,000 even when the threshold is met.
Know which text governs. Part EE applies by the date the action is commenced, not the date of the accident. An accident in 2025 whose lawsuit is filed today is governed by the amended text.
Threshold Injury Considerations
Part EE, § 4, applies the act “to all actions and proceedings commenced on or after such date.” The trigger is commencement of the action, not the date of injury. An action commenced before May 26, 2026 is outside Part EE and proceeds under the prior Insurance Law § 5102(d), with the 90/180-day category, the prior § 5104(a), and CPLR 1411 without subdivision (b). An action commenced on or after May 26, 2026 is governed by the amended sections whenever the accident happened, subject to the three-year limitations period in CPLR 214(5).
What Accident Victims Can Do Now
Immediate Medical Care
- See a physician the day of the accident and report the head impact and every symptom.
- Ask for a referral to a neurologist when the initial imaging is normal and the symptoms continue.
- Tell the physician what you cannot do, in specific terms, so the record describes a limitation rather than a symptom.
- Keep every appointment. Gaps in treatment will be argued as proof that the limitation ended.
Documentation and Evidence
- Send written notice of the accident to the insurer within 30 days, as 11 NYCRR 65-1.1 requires.
- Submit each medical bill within 45 days after the service, and proof of lost earnings within 90 days (11 NYCRR 65-1.1).
- Keep a dated symptom and activity log. It is the record of what you could not do and for how long.
- Preserve the fault evidence: photographs of the scene and the vehicles, the police report, the names of witnesses.
Legal Consultation
Talk to a lawyer before the first-party deadlines run and long before the three-year period in CPLR 214(5). The lawyer’s first two questions will be which text governs your action and which category the records support. The personal injury practice at this office handles concussion and traumatic brain injury claims under the amended statute.
The Path Forward
The reform is law. What remains open is how the trial courts and the Appellate Division will apply “significant limitation of use” and “permanent consequential limitation of use” to concussion claims that would once have been pleaded under the 90/180-day category. No decision construing the amended text on a concussion claim is cited here, because none has been reviewed for this article. The statute’s words, quoted above, are the standard.
Protecting Your Rights Today
If you were hurt in a car accident anywhere in Nassau County, Suffolk County or the five boroughs and a concussion or brain injury is suspected, the questions are the same whichever text governs: what the records show, when the action was or will be commenced, and who was at fault. The personal injury team at this office reviews all three at the first meeting.

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 2,600+ 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.

Common Questions About This Topic
10 answers from the firm's New York personal-injury and employment-law practice. Click any question to expand.
What are the 2026 New York no-fault reforms?*
They are Part EE of Chapter 58 of the Laws of 2026 (S9008-C/A10008-C). Insurance Law § 5102(d) no longer includes the 90/180-day category of serious injury. Under Insurance Law § 5104(a) the trier of fact now decides fault before serious injury. New CPLR 1411(b) bars recovery in a personal injury action subject to Insurance Law Article 51 when the claimant's culpable conduct is greater than the defendants'. New Insurance Law § 5104(d) limits non-economic loss to $100,000 for certain at-fault uninsured or convicted claimants. Law changed May 26, 2026: these provisions apply to actions commenced on or after that date; earlier actions proceed under the prior text.
How does the current New York serious injury threshold work?*
Under Insurance Law § 5104(a), a covered person may recover non-economic loss, meaning pain and suffering, only in the case of a serious injury. Insurance Law § 5102(d) now defines serious injury as one that results in death; dismemberment; significant disfigurement; a fracture; loss of a fetus; permanent loss of use of a body organ, member, function or system; permanent consequential limitation of use of a body organ or member; or significant limitation of use of a body function or system. Law changed May 26, 2026: Insurance Law § 5102(d) no longer includes the 90/180-day category for actions commenced on or after that date; earlier actions keep the nine-category definition.
Why are concussion and mild traumatic brain injury cases affected by the 2026 reforms?*
Because the category most often used for injuries without a permanent, measured limitation was the 90/180-day category, and it has been removed. A concussion claimant in an action commenced on or after May 26, 2026 must fit one of the remaining categories in Insurance Law § 5102(d), most often permanent consequential limitation or significant limitation of use, which require medical proof of the limitation. Nothing in the enacted text requires any particular imaging or test. Law changed May 26, 2026: the 90/180-day category was deleted from Insurance Law § 5102(d) for actions commenced on or after that date; earlier actions keep it.
What documentation should a concussion claimant gather to strengthen a claim?
Gather the records that show a medically determined injury and a measurable limitation, because those are the terms the serious injury categories in Insurance Law § 5102(d) use. Start with the first-visit record describing the head impact and symptoms, then continuous follow-up with a treating physician who documents the limitation and its cause. Meet the first-party benefits deadlines in the prescribed endorsement, 11 NYCRR 65-1.1: written notice to the insurer within 30 days of the accident, medical bills within 45 days of each service, and lost-wage proof within 90 days. Keep attendance records and a symptom log. Gaps in treatment will be used to argue the injury resolved.
What is the difference between first-party benefits and a lawsuit for pain and suffering?
First-party benefits reimburse basic economic loss under Insurance Law § 5102(a) and (b): up to $50,000 per person for medical expenses, lost earnings of up to $2,000 per month for up to three years, and other reasonable expenses up to $25 per day for a year, less the deductions in § 5102(b). They are paid regardless of fault by the insurer of the vehicle you occupied, or your own policy as a pedestrian. A lawsuit against the at-fault driver under Insurance Law § 5104(a) may recover non-economic loss, meaning pain and suffering, only if you sustained a serious injury under § 5102(d), plus economic loss above basic economic loss.
What is diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) and does it matter for concussion claims?
Diffusion-tensor imaging is an MRI technique that measures water diffusion along the brain's white-matter tracts; whether it is appropriate for a particular patient is a medical decision for the treating physician, not a legal one. Legally, no New York statute or regulation requires DTI or any specific test. The serious injury categories in Insurance Law § 5102(d) that a concussion claimant is most likely to rely on, permanent consequential limitation and significant limitation of use, turn on medical proof of a limitation and its cause. The 2026 amendments to § 5102(d) and § 5104 changed which categories exist and the order of trial; they did not add an imaging requirement.
Do the 2026 reforms apply to accidents that have already occurred?*
They can. Part EE, § 4, of Chapter 58 of the Laws of 2026 applies the act to all actions and proceedings commenced on or after its effective date. The trigger is the date the lawsuit is commenced, not the date of the accident, so a claim from a 2025 accident that is filed after the effective date is governed by the amended Insurance Law § 5102(d), § 5104 and CPLR 1411. An action already pending on the effective date continues under the prior text. Law changed May 26, 2026: the amendments apply to actions commenced on or after that date; actions commenced before it proceed under the earlier text.
How can a Long Island concussion claimant improve the chance of a favorable outcome?
Treat promptly and consistently, and protect the deadlines. See a physician the day of the accident and follow up with a treating neurologist or other specialist who documents the limitation and its cause, because the serious injury categories in Insurance Law § 5102(d) require medical proof of a limitation. Send written notice to your insurer within 30 days, submit medical bills within 45 days of each service and lost-wage proof within 90 days (11 NYCRR 65-1.1). Talk to a lawyer early: because the 2026 amendments apply based on when the action is commenced, the timing of the filing is itself a decision to make with counsel.
What if my no-fault insurer denies my concussion claim?
Read the denial form first. 11 NYCRR 65-3.8(c) requires the insurer to pay or deny within 30 calendar days after it receives proof of claim, on the prescribed denial of claim form (NF-10), and a claim not timely paid or denied is overdue and bears interest at two percent per month (Insurance Law § 5106(a); 11 NYCRR 65-3.9(a)). You may then submit the dispute to arbitration under Insurance Law § 5106(b), administered by the organization the Superintendent of Financial Services designates under 11 NYCRR 65-4.2, or bring a lawsuit. Under 11 NYCRR 65-3.9(c), interest stops if you do not request arbitration or sue within 30 days after the denial.
What is the statute of limitations for a New York concussion or TBI lawsuit?
Three years from the accident under CPLR 214(5) for a personal injury lawsuit against a private driver; the 2026 amendments did not change that period. If the vehicle was operated by a city, county, town, village or school district, a notice of claim is due within ninety days (General Municipal Law § 50-e(1)(a)) and the action within one year and ninety days (General Municipal Law § 50-i(1)). First-party benefits have their own clocks under 11 NYCRR 65-1.1: written notice of the accident within 30 days, medical bills within 45 days after each service, and lost-wage proof within 90 days. Missing those forfeits benefits but does not bar the lawsuit.
* The law on this point has changed. The answer states the change, its effective date, and which claims the earlier rule still governs. Answers reviewed against the statutes and decisions in force as of September 2026.

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.
