For motorcycle accidents, you must meet the “serious injury” threshold under NY Insurance Law § 5102 to recover non-economic damages like pain and suffering. This threshold includes death, dismemberment, significant disfigurement, fracture, loss of a fetus, permanent loss of use of a body organ, member, function or system, or a medically determined injury or impairment of a non-permanent nature which prevents you from performing substantially all of your daily activities for at least 90 days during the 180 days immediately following the accident.
