In a press conference earlier this month, Governor Hochul announced the “Money in Your Pockets” initiative—a bold plan to lower auto insurance costs for all New Yorkers. She highlighted a shocking statistic: New York ranks second in the nation for staged accidents, a type of insurance fraud that inflates premiums for everyone.
These scams act like a hidden tax on every Uber ride you take. The Governor’s proposal would finally close the loopholes that allow bad actors to profit from deliberate crashes and frivolous lawsuits.
We need to make sure Albany hears the message loud and clear: Riders want these scams stopped. Please contact your legislators today and tell them to back the Governor’s anti-fraud plan.
