Court of Appeals of New York

As subrogee of an accident victim to whom it paid Additional Personal Injury Protection (APIP) benefits, plaintiff stands in the shoes of the victim; thus the statute of limitations runs from the date of the accident, not the date when the first APIP benefits were paid. The insurer's action is time-barred.
