How We Help After a Motor Vehicle Accident
Motor vehicle accidents cause a wide range of pain-related injuries — some obvious immediately, others that develop days later. If you were injured in a car accident anywhere in the New York metro area, our board-certified pain management team treats the full range of MVA-related conditions at four convenient locations.

Relief for Pain and Injuries
Nerve compression from disc injury, causing pain, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs.
We use targeted interventional treatments — including radiofrequency ablation, epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, trigger point injections, and physical therapy — to relieve pain and support your recovery. When surgery isn’t needed, we help you avoid it. When advanced care is truly needed, we coordinate it with trusted specialists.
For patients who develop chronic pain or need advanced care, we also offer percutaneous discectomy, spinal cord stimulator trials and implants, and other interventional procedures.
No Out-of-Pocket Cost After a Car Accident
In New York, “no-fault” is the part of your auto insurance that pays for medical treatment after a car accident — no matter who caused it. Under New York’s no-fault law, your auto insurance covers medical treatment for injuries from a motor vehicle accident — regardless of who caused the accident. That means:
- No copays
- No deductibles
- No medical bills sent to you
- We handle the insurance paperwork directly
You focus on recovery. We handle the rest.
What Your First Visit Looks Like
- Brief intake paperwork — available in English and Spanish; forms can be emailed ahead of time.
- Consultation and exam with Dr. Lerner or a member of our team.
- Imaging when needed — if an MRI is required, we schedule it at a convenient imaging center near you.
- Personalized treatment plan, including any recommended interventional procedures.
- First treatment when appropriate — many patients begin treatment the same visit.
Most first visits take 45 to 60 minutes.
If you need help finding legal representation, ask us — we can point you toward experienced attorneys who handle these cases. You never need legal representation to be treated here.
