The Other Driver Had No Insurance in New Paltz
It does not happen very often in the Hudson Valley area, but sometimes the at-fault driver has no car insurance — or not enough insurance to cover serious injuries. When that happens, you can still make a personal injury claim — with your own insurance company.

By law, everyone who owns and drives a car should have car insurance. But sometimes an accident is caused by an uninsured motorist or an underinsured motorist. If you were injured by an uninsured motorist, contact me. I am Jonathan D. Katz, an experienced New Paltz personal injury attorney who can explain how your own car insurance policy can help.
- Most car insurance policies have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. That coverage is available when the at-fault driver has inadequate insurance. It is an important protection that you paid for when you bought your policy.
- When you have been injured by an uninsured motorist, you need to let your insurance company know that there is a potential uninsured motorist claim. I can handle that for you. There are specific rules for making an uninsured motorist claim.
- As with any other car accident, talk to an attorney as soon as possible so that an investigation can begin. My law firm has the resources to investigate the accident and determine liability. That is important even when you are making a claim against your own policy.
Make sure you get the medical treatment you need. Let me take on the task of making your personal injury claim and dealing with the insurance company. I represent clients in Ulster County, the Hudson Valley and throughout the state of New York. Contact my Dutchess County law offices for a free consultation.
