The NYFAIR Mission: NYFAIR’s goal is to ensure that New Yorkers injured in auto accidents, and their healthcare providers, are treated fairly by insurance companies. NYFAIR is dedicated to bring to light the all too common insurer abuses endured by such claimants.

The NYFAIR Approach: Through lobbying and advocation efforts, NYFAIR seeks to inform and educate New York State policymakers concerning recurring issues encountered by claimants.
