Uninsured Motorist Accidents in New York
Car insurance is mandatory for all New York drivers, and anyone found behind the wheel without coverage is subject to penalties and the loss of their license. Despite this fact, thousands of drivers traveling the roads of the Empire State are doing so without insurance. Getting into an accident can result in painful injuries and costly damage to your vehicle. If the driver responsible for the crash didn’t have insurance, you might be even more worried about how you’ll get the money you need to pay your medical bills or repair your vehicle.

How do I get compensated if the other driver didn’t have car insurance?
New York drivers are required to carry insurance and must exchange insurance information with the other driver after an accident. However, New York is a no-fault state when it comes to car insurance coverage, and all insured drivers carry uninsured motorist coverage that will pay for their expenses in the event of an accident. If the other driver does have insurance but only carries the minimum amount of coverage, your underinsured motorist coverage could kick in to pay for your additional expenses.
That said, getting the full amount you’re owed after an accident isn’t easy. Insurance carriers only make money when they keep the premiums they’re paid, and they will often fight you every step of the way when paying out claims. If your injuries are severe, you may even need to file a lawsuit to get the coverage you deserve.
