New York Insurance Coverage
New York State mandates that drivers carry a minimum level of coverage that is more complex than some other states.
- $10,000 for property damage per accident.
- $25,000 for bodily injury and $50,000 for harm resulting in death per accident.
- $50,000 for bodily injury and $100,000 for death of two or more people in an accident.
Uninsured and underinsured motorist bodily injury (UM/UIM) of:
- $25,000 per person per accident.
- $50,000 per accident to protect against injuries caused by uninsured or hit-and-run drivers.
Personal injury projection (PIP) of:
- $50,000 per person, regardless of fault, to cover medical expenses, lost earnings and other damages.
Typically, the more coverage, the more expensive the premium, and couple that with over 8 million people packed into New York City — the largest city in the United States — and insurance bills may get expensive.
