Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

Re: Lawsuit to driver of company vehicle

Your husbands insurance company should be primary. Your husband while operating in the course of his employment will be covered by his employers coverage-- however he may be liable personally as well- he must put his insurance carrier on notice.

I received your post on 2-12-2001.

If your husband was, as we say, in the scope of his employment, them his company's insurance will cover. It is the same as if you lend a friend your car and she/he gets into an accident...then your insurance would cover her. Generally, the insurance coverage follows the car, not the driver.

Even if you put your own insurance company on notice, thy will not cover if he is in tghe scope of employment. Any questions, ask your broker (unless you have Allstate or State Farm, etc. These guys work for the insurance company..a broker is independant). They should advise you also.
