You can get medical benefits and lost wages from the insurance company for the car that you were in. Also you can get pain and suffering damages from the insurance company for the car that was at fault for the accident. The amount depends on the nature and severity of the injuries

To file a notice of claim for a NY state based claim you must file a notice of claim within 90 days of the arrest. For a malicious prosecution claim, it is 90 days from when the case is terminated. But for a Federal Case under 42 USC 1983, you do not need to file a notice of claim at all.
