Insurance Tips And Information

Article provided by Ken Marcus and Mitchell Barber

After an AccidentWhat to do? (Part I)

There are procedures to take at the scene of an accident; call police, exchange information, file a claim, etc.

But, what do you do AFTER you have left the scene of an accident? What are your next steps to get a repair and keep your expenses down?

The first obstacle you will face is filing your claim. Do you file with your insurer or the other party? If they hit you, you will want them to pay for the cost of repairs,

a rental car and incidental expenses. Ideally, you will file with them and they’ll immediately take over responsibility for your expenses. Of course, life is not ideal. You should expect delays. Expect them. Don’t be impatient. The other company MUST reach their insured and debrief them. Then, they must go through steps to assign responsibility, whether fully or in part. And, if the case is not cut and dried, the process may take years.

If you are injured, then you MUST file with your

own insurance company. New York is a No-Fault State. This is a misnomer. No-Fault means that, regardless of who is at fault, your own insurer will take care of your medical claims.

If you file the Collision claim with your company then they may go after the other company (a process called subrogation), but you will have to lay out your deductible and for rental expenses until a decision is made.

Insurance Questions…. Call Us at 516-753-2600.

Become A Volunteer With The Adelphi Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program

Compassionate women and men—both breast cancer survivors and non-breast cancer survivors—are being sought as volunteers. The Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program, is a non-profit that has been advocating and supporting the community for 43 years. The virtual training will take place on four consecutive Mondays: October 30, November 6, November 13 and November 20, from 10 am to 1 pm.

Attendance at all four sessions is essential. Volunteers will be trained in the following areas: community outreach, educational presentations, speaking engagements, publicity and fundraising. Those who have had breast cancer will also be trained to respond to calls to the Hotline.

Here’s what some of the program’s community of volunteers have to say about their experience: Jeannie, age 68, from West

Babylon; diagnosed in 1986. I wanted to give back to the community and let women know they’re not alone. It was life-altering when I started volunteering 31 years ago. I speak Spanish and do lots of outreach, especially to underserved communities.

Lori, age 66, from Greenlawn; diagnosed in 2012

I am recently retired and wanted to do something to help people coping with breast cancer. I wish when I

was diagnosed I had known about the hotline where there were others who had “been there.” Someone to tell me “take a breath, I’m here for you. I know what you are feeling.” I have done several library outreaches and am involved with our new book club.

Tanya, age 55, from Wyandanch; diagnosed in 2020

I received so much support when I called the hotline that I want to provide that kind

of help to others. I do peer support for two women— linking one woman recently diagnosed to resources and speaking with the mother of someone diagnosed with breast cancer who was having a hard time. I’ve also lobbied in Albany for more funds for the program.

Jeanne, age 51, from Elmont

Although I don’t have breast cancer, as a nurse, I know that many women do not know about breast health

and are going undiagnosed. I am originally from Haiti and so am able to speak with callers in French and Creole, as well as English.

The process of becoming a volunteer involves having an initial interview, followed by the four training sessions. After the final session, there is an exit interview.

For more information, please contact Nina Foley, LMSW at: 516-877-4315 or email at: nfoley@adelphi.edu.
