Navigating Insurance Challenges After Rental Car Accidents

After a rental car crash, the first fight is over which policy pays, and there is usually more than one in play.

  • Your personal auto policy: many personal auto policies extend your existing coverage to a car you rent, so your own insurer may be on the hook for part of the claim.
  • The credit card you booked with: some credit cards add coverage automatically when you pay for the rental with that card, which can apply on top of the other policies.
  • The rental company's coverage: rental companies are required to carry at least the state minimum coverage, and the optional damage waiver you accepted or declined at the counter, the CDW or LDW, changes who pays for the car itself.
  • The at-fault driver's insurer: if another driver caused the crash, their bodily injury coverage is often the main source for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

If you waived the rental company's supplemental coverage, the insurers tend to point the claim at each other, and the rental company may come after you directly for the property damage. Alexander Karasik, Esq. reads the rental agreement and every policy that could apply, places the claim where the coverage actually sits, and handles those calls so the bill does not land back on you.

A NYC Rental Car Accident Lawyer Who Takes Cases Other Firms Turned Down

A first lawyer passing on your rental car case does not mean it has no value. Some firms run the numbers in a short phone call and pass before anyone has read the rental agreement or confirmed which policies apply. A coverage waiver you signed at the counter, an injury that surfaced days later, or a rental company demanding payment can all make a case look harder than it is. Alexander Karasik, Esq. reviews crashes other firms turned away, reads the rental contract, and identifies the insurance that actually covers your injuries. The first review costs nothing, and you only pay if he recovers money for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rental Car Accidents

Whose insurance pays after a rental car accident in New York?

Usually more than one policy is in play. Your own auto insurance may extend to the rental, the credit card you booked with may add coverage, the rental company carries at least the state minimum, and if another driver caused the crash their insurer is often the main source for your injuries. Alexander Karasik, Esq. reads the rental agreement and every applicable policy and places the claim where the coverage actually sits.

I waived the rental company's coverage at the counter. Do I still have a case?

Often, yes. Declining the optional damage waiver, the CDW or LDW, mainly affects who pays for the rental car itself, not your right to recover for your injuries. Your own policy, your card's benefits, and the at-fault driver's insurance can still apply. Alexander Karasik, Esq. reviews what you signed and identifies the coverage that pays for your medical bills and other losses.

Do you have a Russian or Ukrainian speaking rental car accident lawyer in New York?

Yes. You can go through your entire rental car accident case in Russian, Ukrainian, English, or Spanish. Alexander Karasik, Esq. and the Karasik Law Group, P.C. team explain your rights, handle the calls with the insurers and the rental company, and review your settlement with you in the language you are most comfortable speaking.

What if another lawyer already told me my rental car accident case was not worth taking?

A second opinion is free. Rental cases that look like a signed coverage waiver, shared fault, or a delayed injury are often still recoverable once the rental agreement and the right policies are confirmed. Alexander Karasik, Esq. reviews cases other firms passed on, and you pay nothing unless he recovers money for you.
