      New York City Comptroller Brad Lander details strategies to reduce the city's payouts for claims and settlements, with a focus on crash claims and potential future strategies for NYPD settlements.

      • A deep dive into crash claims suggests significant savings can be achieved by reducing city vehicle-related crashes.
      • The city's payout for claims mainly involves NYPD, Sanitation, Parks, and FDNY incidents.
      • Suggestions include budgeting claim expenses on the responsible agencies and employing accountability measures for city drivers.
      • Speed delimiters on routine city vehicles and enforcing the Reckless Driver Accountability Act could further reduce payouts.
      • Next steps involve examining NYPD settlements more closely to implement similar strategies.
