QUEENS NORTH OFFICERS RECOVER MONETARY DAMAGES FROM THEIR PERSONAL AUTO POLICIES AFTER BEING INTENTIONALLY STRUCK AND INJURED BY A STOLEN VEHICLE

A Sergeant and two Police Officers from a Queens North command sustained serious injuries when a convicted felon stole a civilian vehicle and intentionally ran down several members of the service with the stolen vehicle. Two Officers sustained injuries to their shoulders which required arthroscopic surgery. The sergeant sustained an injury to his knee which required surgery. Unfortunately stolen cars do not possess liability insurance coverage and the perpetrator had no assets. However, the law allows members of the service to make a claim for personal injury compensation under each member’s personal supplementary uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage if there is no other insurance coverage. The Sergeant recovered $65,000 from his auto SUM coverage. One of the Officers recovered $85,000 from his personal supplementary uninsured/underinsured automobile policy. The third Officer is awaiting his arbitration date.
