I was in a car accident and settled with the car insurance . Can I still go after the drivers other insurance?

I am not licensed in NY, but the answers to your questions depend on the coverage of each specific policy, as well as who you may have already released. If you have released the named insured, it doesn't matter whether there is additional coverage that would have paid the loss. If you have released the insured, the carrier who may also cover that same insured can use the release as a complete defense.

Generally, when you settle a case, you are not settling with an insurance company - you are settling with the insured (driver) who is insured. You should review the terms of the release that you probably signed. Further, business and homeowners insurance policies generally do not cover auto claims.

Good luck.
