Coalition complains New York on new rules for automobile insurance
A coalition of groups representing lawyers, doctors and consumers in court charged yesterday that new no-fault auto insurance state of New York has recently adopted benefits insurance companies and unfair to punish the victims .

The État’s Insurance Department, but said that the new deadlines, to protect all car owners, because the old borders, insofar as greater opportunity for fraudulent action, as premiums increase.
The new rules, the entry into force on February 1, extensions allow an applicant if legt”klare and für”fehlt justify reasonable time limit.
But David B. Golomb, president of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, one of the complainants, said in an interview that the insurers themselves, was”klar and reasonable,”and he felt that the company did not trustworthy enough on the standard.

The applicants consider that a person whose injuries were serious enough to prevent the supply of him having regard to the insurance company within 30 days - for example, a pedestrian, was not in a position to know what insurance companies drivers - würde”Gesicht Denial-of - all services.”would be the victim of an accident is not familiar with the new deadlines to check, he said in court documents.
She added that doctors only 45 days for damages Datei”ist simply too short for many medical practices and billing companies.”
