New York insurance FAQ
Is New York a no-fault state for auto insurance?
Yes. New York requires no-fault coverage (PIP) that helps pay certain medical and related expenses after an accident regardless of fault.
Many drivers also add SUM/UM/UIM for additional protection.
Will my condo or co-op master policy cover everything?
Usually not. Master policies often cover common areas and the building structure, while unit owners may need “walls-in” coverage for interior
finishes, personal property, and liability. An HO-6 policy is commonly used for this purpose.
Do I need flood insurance if I’m not near the ocean?
Possibly. Flooding can occur inland from rivers and heavy rain. Standard homeowners policies often exclude flood damage, so flood coverage is
typically handled through a separate policy.
What coverage should NYC landlords require from tenants?
Many landlords require renters insurance with liability coverage and proof of limits. Requirements vary by building and lease. Landlords also
review their own liability and umbrella exposure separately.
How quickly can I get covered?
Many auto, renters, and small business policies can be bound the same day once your information is complete and you select a quote.
