The quickest and easiest way to obtain insurance information if you’ve been involved in a crash/accident with a vehicle registered in New York State, is to search the insurance company code list posted on the Department of Financial Services (DFS) website.  The search is free.  Results are instant and allow you to contact the insurance company immediately to resolve your insurance matter.  The 3 digit insurance company code can be found on your accident report.  See a sample accident report with the location of the insurance code identified.
