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. State-mandated minimum coverage may be the most affordable car insurance policy, but it may not be the right coverage for you. Compare multiple car insurance quotes to see raising and lowering your limits and adding optional coverages affects your rate.
