Seeing a lot of out-of-state plates recently? This form of insurance fraud has soared under Gov. Hochul to more than $50 million per year, with out-of-state plate scams more than doubling, according to the state’s own figures. https://t.co/LvHcIAWb4k

Another jury finding Uber is vicariously liable for its drivers. Another finding that an uber driver sexually assaulted a passenger. All this after uber had tons of research showing they knew how to minimize sexual assaults and didn’t implement

An Uber front company is purportedly sending emails in support of NYS Governor Hochul from dead people.

Reform should target fraud and inefficiency not weaken the rights of people hurt through negligence.

[Joel Glaser @joel_glaser_]

The concern is simple: limiting recovery and narrowing access to justice means injured New Yorkers may be left without the compensation they need to recover and rebuild.

NY’s proposed auto insurance “reforms” risk doing real harm to crash victims while claiming to fix costs. https://t.co/gH4Ol9JXKs

[Victoria Wickman @VW1ckman]

This is who @govkathyhochul got in bed with and is trying to make it even easier for legitimate claims to be denied with no compensation. https://t.co/IxnNPxe3SF

ICYMI: Lawmakers report receiving fake emails—including one from a person deceased since 2015—supporting Gov. Hochul’s car insurance plan. The emails were generated by the Uber-funded Citizens for Affordable Rates. Full report: https://t.co/Lv2lqOFWxi

@nypost Actually Robert bornt’s case, defense is claiming he was comparatively negligent. Under the gov’s proposal his case would be tossed if the car was found 49% responsible for the accident

[Joel Glaser @joel_glaser_]

There’s a major policy fight happening in Albany right now over proposed changes to New York’s auto insurance laws. We need to support reforms that lower fraud and cost without diminishing the rights of injured New Yorkers. Let’s get it right. https://t.co/rIuBS3NzTl

@Gothamist The gov at her garage shop press conference talked about a $40m verdict the TA has to pay. It sounds like a runaway jury. 🤥. Facts are it was a $4m verdict (10 times LESS than what she claimed) on behalf of TWO seriously injured pedestrians.

[Victoria Wickman @VW1ckman]

@Gothamist So under the auto reform bill we are fighting so hard to kill on behalf of innocent New Yorkers - would leave innocent pedestrians with lifelong injured and no compensation to help them live the rest of their lives

Until this year, New York was the only state (other than North Dakota)
that failed to report critical data to the NAIC on the market behavior of
insurance companies operating under its jurisdiction.

@GovKathyHochul you’ve been governor for more than 4 years. Explain how it is your administration has never questioned a requested insurance premium rate hike. NEVER! until Uber/big insurance came along with a boatload of campaign cash @NYSenDems

[Victoria Wickman @VW1ckman]

If fraud were truly a reason for Hochul’s tort reform bills then explain how she’s never used the money to actually fight fraud?! Hmmmm. This seems awfully Doge like doesn’t it? The real fraud is hochul.

[Jeffrey Bloom @jeff14mail]

Guess who's the new heart throb of the ultra right-wing American Tort Reform Association-No,not Ron DeSantis- its @GovKathyHochul!!!! Imagine that NY State has a Democratic governor grovelling for support from a group dedicated to taking away civil liberties!

POL PLOT: Hochul's Insurance Plan Is A Statewide Head-Scratcher - Streetsblog Empire State https://t.co/4e9SbpMC6X

[Jeffrey Bloom @jeff14mail]

@GovKathyHochul/Uber/big insurance is trying to ram through laws taking away civil justice rights. These bills have no fiscal impact and don’t belong in the Budget- violate State Constitution Let the Legislature conduct due diligence @NYSenDems @nysdacc
