Experienced Brooklyn Car Accident Attorney
New York state law requires all car owners to give proof of financial responsibility when they register their cars with Department of Motor Vehicles. This proof is usually in the form of car insurance. However, even though every New York driver is supposed to carry car insurance, real life doesn't always work that way.
- What do you do if you're in an accident with an uninsured motorist?
- What happens if a pedestrian is struck by a hit-and-run driver?
The answer to these questions depends on whether or not the injured person has insurance of his or her own.
Navigating the complex maze of New York insurance laws and insurance claims can be frustrating and aggravating — especially when the injured person is trying to focus on getting proper medical care.

Filing the Right Insurance Claims After Car Accidents Involving Uninsured Drivers
The rules and regulations for filing insurance claims are different depending on the specific circumstances of the accident. Attorney Gendelman has handled most types of uninsured motorist situations and can efficiently handle your case and help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
- If the injured person has car insurance and the responsible driver does not, the injured person must file a claim with the insurance company covering the car, or with his or her own homeowners' insurance company, or with any insurance company that covers a relative (such as a spouse or a parent) with whom the injured person lives.
- If neither the injured person nor the other driver carries enough insurance to reimburse the injured person for all medical expenses and lost wages, then the injured person must file a claim with the Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnification Corporation (MVAIC). Claims to MVAIC must be handled with special care, to prevent the claim from being disqualified for not meeting required deadlines or qualification rules.
