In the Matter of Allstate Insurance Company v. Holly D. Shaw, and Hertz Corporation

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that a self‑insured automobile leasing company must provide uninsured‑motorist coverage under Insurance Law §167(2‑a). The Court reasoned that the statutory scheme requires such coverage and that the per‑vehicle assessment to MVAIC is not a substitute. Justice Gabrielli dissented, arguing that the statute exempts self‑insurers from the coverage requirement.
