Is New York a Fault State?
New York is a no-fault state when it comes to car accidents. This means that each party is responsible for filing claims with their own insurance provider for compensation regardless of who caused the accident.

Common Car Insurance Questions
What are the Three Types of Car Insurance?
There are three types of coverage available under a car insurance policy: physical damage, liability and medical. Physical damage encompasses damage to your vehicle, like comprehensive and collision, while liability covers injuries or damage you may cause to someone else. Medical coverage helps cover the medical expenses of you and your driver after an accident.
How Far Does Car Insurance Look Back?
In general, car insurance looks back 3-5 years on your driving record and credit score. Keep in mind that some violations last quite a long time on your record. A DUI, for example, remains on your driving record for 10 years in most states.
How many Car Insurance Policies Can I Have?
You may insure multiple vehicles with different policies, but insurers generally won’t insure the same vehicle twice. In some cases, it may be cheaper to have multiple cars on the same policy. There are times with you may need more than one policy, however, such as if you have a teenage driver needing their own policy.
How Do Car Insurance Claims Work?
When you file a car insurance claim, an underwriter from the insurance provider will investigate the claim and calculate the damages. When the claim is approved, you will receive a lump sum of compensation for the damages. Other types of compensation, such as medical payments, are paid out as the costs arise.
How Much Does Car Insurance Cost Per Month?
A full coverage car insurance policy in New York costs about $208.16 a month. This price varies depending on your zip code, driving record, credit score, deductible, value of the vehicle and more. Fill out an online quote form to discover how much you can save on insurance today!
