VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC LAW 370 DID NOT EXEMPT COUNTY FROM PROVIDING UNINSURED MOTORIST COVERAGE FOR PERSONS DRIVING COUNTY CARS (SECOND DEPT). ​

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the county was obligated to provide uninsured motorist coverage to respondent, who was injured by an uninsured driver while driving a county car. The county argued it was exempt from providing uninsured motorist coverage pursuant to Vehicle and Traffic Law 370:

​

“[T]he Legislature has specifically declared its grave concern that motorists who use the public highways be financially responsible to ensure that innocent victims of motor vehicle accidents be recompensed for their injuries and losses'” … . Thus, although the Legislature authorized municipalities to be self-insured pursuant to the exception in Vehicle and Traffic Law § 370(1), it did not exculpate them from the responsibility of providing uninsured motorist protection … . Matter of County of Suffolk v Johnson, 2018 NY Slip Op 00552, Second Dept 1-31-18
