Although New York has mandatory auto insurance requirements, many vehicles only have limited coverage. In an under insured situation, the negligent party has inadequate liability coverage to compensate you for your injuries. However, you may be able to recover under the insurance policy of the vehicle you occupied, whether you were the driver, owner or passenger. At Greenstein & Milbauer, LLP our attorneys are well versed with the special requirements of the under insured motorist law. If this type claim is being made under your own policy it should not result in an increase in your premium, or a cancellation of your coverage.
