In New York State, as in all states in this country, insurance is required in order to operate a motor vehicle. We all know not everybody follows the law and there are people driving around without insurance on their vehicle. However, litigation will not always help you recover damages. New York has something called Supplemental Underinsured and Uninsured Motorists coverage. If an uninsured vehicle causes an injury to you, you can go to your own insurance company and apply for the SUM coverage and make a claim for injuries.
