FOUR BASIC CONSUMER RIGHTS
“Consumers need to know their rights, and know that the Insurance Department stands ready to protect them,” Superintendent of Insurance Eric R. Dinallo said. “If your insurer tells you that you need to get your car inspected or repaired at a particular place, call the Insurance Department at 1-800-342-3736. If, unfortunately, you are in an accident and need to have your car repaired, call the Department to find out your rights, or visit our website.”

Steering You Wrong
Randy Hassell sounds exasperated before the conversation even begins. The owner of Hassell Bros. Auto Body in Jamaica, Queens, has made these calls hundreds of times; he knows what is coming. A representative from GEICO, one of the largest automobile insurance companies in the nation, answers. She is sweet, her delivery is smooth and soothing. Randy explains that he is calling to report a claim for a customer who has taken his car to his shop for an estimate and repair. The calls all go according to what seems like a pre-set plan.
