New York Uninsured Car Accident Lawyers
Getting into a car accident already comes with its challenges, but when the other driver doesn’t have insurance, it can only worsen matters. It’s understandable to believe that you have no way to compensate you for your pain and suffering and other expenses that stem from the crash, but there is hope.
A New York uninsured car accident lawyer with Dansker & Aspromonte Associates LLP can explore your options for compensation with you. They will manage your case in its entirety while you recover from your injuries.
How to Recover Damages after a New York Car Accident Involving an Uninsured Driver
The fact that the other driver doesn’t have insurance doesn’t mean you can’t seek compensation for your losses through other avenues.
A few of your options include:
Your Own Insurance Coverage
According to the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS), New York is a no-fault state. So, all drivers are required to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. When you’re in an accident, it can cover:
- Medical expenses
- Lost earnings
- Any necessary expenses related to the accident
- Death benefits if your loved one passed away due to the accident
Besides PIP coverage through no-fault benefits, if you were operating your own vehicle at the time of the incident, or had a vehicle in your household, you may be able to make a claim through that vehicle’s Uninsured Motorist Insurance (UM). That coverage requires that your own insurance company provide insurance coverage for pain and suffering, lost wages and other damages even if the accident was the fault of another. Contact a qualified and experienced lawyer to understand your rights.

Handle Your Case with Confidence
Filing a Lawsuit Against the At-Fault Driver
If the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance, you can still file a personal injury lawsuit against them seeking compensation directly from them. Per CVP § 214, you usually have three years to do so. However, this deadline can vary based on the circumstances of your car accident case. An injury lawyer on our team will help you figure out how long you have.
In a lawsuit, you can claim damages, such as:
- Pain and suffering
- Medical expenses (past and projected)
- Past and future lost earnings
- Property damage
Act fast if you want to take this legal route. Attempting to file past the deadline could result in the court preventing you from collecting any compensation. This legal option might not be suitable for your situation. Because the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance, they might not have the assets to reimburse you via a lawsuit.
Another Party Might Have Caused the Car Accident
On the surface, it may appear that the other driver caused the accident. However, when we launch our investigation, your lawyer might find that another party was responsible for the accident.
Potentially liable parties could be:
- Another driver: If they were distracted, drunk, fatigued, speeding, or running a stoplight
- A city municipality: If they didn’t clean up the street or fix a faulty traffic signal or road condition
- A parts manufacturer: If the at-fault driver’s vehicle had defective brakes or other defective condition
- A mechanic: If the at-fault driver failed to address potential issues with the car’s functionality
The three-year timeline for filing a lawsuit most often applies to these liable parties, except the government agency. Claims against The City of New York for example require that you file legal papers against them in as little as 90 days after your accident or you risk having your case dismissed.
Because of this, it is important that you seek immediate legal consultation after an accident to protect your rights.

New York Uber Accident Lawyers Fight for a Fair Settlement
After an Uber accident, our injury attorneys collect evidence to prove how the liable party breached their duty of care and caused your injuries. From there, we establish the full extent of your accident damages and prepare a settlement.
We help Uber accident victims recover compensatory damages following a collision. Some of the damages our attorneys demand from at-fault parties include:
- Medical expenses
- Disability
- Reduced income
- Emotional trauma
- Loss of consortium
- Pain and suffering
- Personal property damages
Without a qualified law firm on your side, liable parties and their insurance companies will offer a settlement that is less than what you deserve. But our legal professionals do not stand for this. We don’t ask for fair compensation; we demand it. And if the insurance company fails to comply, we are not afraid to file a lawsuit with the necessary New York court.
