They can also make sure that your claim has insurance coverage for uninsured and sub-insured drivers, in the event that they are required. This is especially crucial if the person at fault does not have insurance or is only covered to the minimum amount required under New York law.

Underinsured or uninsured motorists

Some drivers don't have insurance on their cars, while others have minimal coverage. It is difficult to obtain the compensation you are due if an uninsured motorist is the cause of a collision. In these situations you need to have a competent legal advocate working to assist you in achieving your goals and those of the insurance company.

When the other driver's liability limits aren't high enough to pay for your losses, you may be able to file a claim under your own insurance policy's underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage.

The insurance company will examine these along with other documents to determine whether your losses are within the limits of the other driver's coverage.

It is recommended to speak with a New York City car accident attorney as soon as possible after the crash and make an UIM/UM claim immediately in the event that the other driver claims that they don't have or have insufficient insurance coverage.

The law that is in force in New York State is comparative negligence, which means that even if you're found to be partly at fault for the accident, your damages will be reduced by the percentage of liability attributed to you. Additionally, the defendant could be found to be entirely responsible for the accident, and thus ineligible to recover at all.

Some injuries can take a while to manifest and could be used against you in court if you later attempt to claim compensation.
