Minimum New York insurance coverage
As a resident of New York, there are two types of liability coverage your insurance policy must include: property damage and bodily injury. New York is a state where carrying no-fault insurance is mandatory. If you happen to get into a car accident, no-fault insurance will reimburse you for any hospital or medical expenses, wage losses from an inability to work, and if necessary, any funeral costs. No-fault insurance will cover these expenses regardless of who is responsible for the accident. It does not, however, cover any damage to your car. Young drivers are eager to get out on the road and experience that kind of freedom for the first time in their lives. To ensure safety on the road for everyone, it’s important to become familiar with the laws for new drivers in New York. While certain steps are different between New York City and New York State, when a teenager turns 16, they can apply for a learner’s permit. After having a learner’s permit for at least six months, teens may apply for a junior driver’s license, followed by an unrestricted license once they turn 17 years old.
