Maybe. In New York State, you can only start a legal action for pain and suffering if you have sustained a serious and permanent injury.  You may also be entitled to sue if your life has changed during the first 90 out of 180 days following the accident.  You should call a competent lawyer who is experienced with personal injury. You may be wasting your time if you retain a lawyer and you have sustained an injury as defined by New York Law.
