Information for New York Protections for Victims of Hate Crimes

New York Insurance Law, section 3422, prohibits insurers from cancelling, refusing to insure, nonrenewing or increasing the premium of a policy solely because one or more claims have been made against any policy during the preceding sixty months for a loss that was a result of a hate crime. A hate crime is defined pursuant to article four hundred eighty-five of the penal law committed against the person or property insured and the insured must provide evidence to the insurer that the act causing such loss is a result of a hate crime and that such insured was not the offender of the hate crime.
