Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York
I reside in NYS. I recently was involved in a major MVA. The other driver was intoxicated and arrested at the scene. My car was a total loss. I would like to sue the other driver for loss and damages, due to his negligence. How do the NYS "No-Fault" laws affect my rights to do this?

No fault deals with personal injury, not property damages
The No-Fault law states that you must have a serious injury in order to bring a case. There is a gray area which enables us to file a claim for an injured party even if it doesn't seem to be serious to the lay person. It is a complicated subject to explain via email. Additionally, you question touches on the need for you to understand the difference between your pain and suffering bodily injury claim and your property damage claim.
