New York requires three coverages, not one: liability, $50,000 PIP, and uninsured motorist. That is more than most states.
Uninsured motorist coverage at 25/50 is mandatory and cannot be rejected.
PIP at $50,000 is among the highest required in the country. Many no-fault states require far less.
Supplementary uninsured/underinsured motorist (SUM) coverage is optional but widely recommended, since the required UM limits are low.
To sue for pain and suffering you must meet the state's serious injury threshold. Soft tissue injuries alone usually do not qualify.
The DMV monitors coverage electronically. Even a short lapse can suspend your registration.
