Under Regulation 68 (11 NYCRR § 65-1.1), within how many days of a motor-vehicle accident must a New York no-fault claimant provide written notice of claim to the insurer?

Why this is the answer

Regulation 68 (11 NYCRR § 65-1.1) requires the eligible injured person — or someone acting on their behalf — to give the no-fault insurer written notice of the accident as soon as reasonably practicable, but no later than 30 days after the accident date. Failure can result in denial unless the claimant demonstrates that notice was given as soon as reasonably possible under the circumstances. The 30-day notice is separate from the 45-day deadline for submitting medical bills, which is a distinct Reg 68 timeline.
