Because of its location as a regional center for major roadways, many people choose to drive. Car insurance is a requirement in New York, although it works differently than in most other states. At&nbsp;Worthington Carroll Agency, we want to make sure you understand your responsibilities and help you ensure that you have the protection you need.<\/p>\n<h2>If I only carry the amount of auto insurance required by law,&nbsp;will I have protection if I am at fault in an accident?<\/h2>\n<h3>New York Is a No-Fault State<\/h3>\n<p>In most states, the focus is on who caused an accident. As a no-fault state, New York puts the focus on the injured party. The advantage of a no-fault system is that the insurance can pay out promptly without waiting for people to argue about who caused a crash.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone who drives in New York is required to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) to cover medical expenses; liability coverage to cover any harm you directly cause while driving; and uninsured motorist protection to protect you and your loved ones in case of a hit-and-run or if you are the victim of an uninsured drive. Anyone carrying the minimum legal coverage is protected when at fault in an accident.<\/p>\n<h3>How Much Coverage Is Enough?<\/h3>\n<p>If there is a lot of damage, your insurance might not cover everything. Anything over your policy limits is your responsibility. You can add protection by either getting a policy with higher limits or getting an umbrella policy.<\/p>\n<h3>Consult With Us<\/h3>\n<p>There are a lot of reasons to drive in Port Jervis, NY,&nbsp; but you want to feel safe in case something happens.
