What Happens If You Get Into a Car Accident Without Insurance in New York?

Under New York law, all motorists must have car insurance. Drivers who get into a car accident without insurance may face penalties, such as having to pay fines or facing driver’s license suspension. If you were injured by an uninsured driver, your no-fault insurance can cover certain damages.

What Are the Penalties for Getting in a Crash without Liability Insurance?

If you’re involved in a car accident without insurance, your driver’s license and vehicle registration may be revoked for at least one year. If someone else crashes while driving your uninsured vehicle, your driver’s license and vehicle registration may be revoked for at least one year. Uninsured drivers could face a fine of up to $1,500.

To reinstate their license, uninsured drivers must pay a $750 fee to the DMV.
