Best Answer

Your insurance is either valid on the day of your accident or it isn't. If you are asking what happens if the policy was valid on the day of the accident but lapses before the claim is settled then the coverage that was in effect the day of the accident still applies. If your policy was not in effect the day of the accident then coverage will not apply.

If the insurance policy lapses after a claim has been submitted for a minor accident will it affect the claim processing?

The claims department will be concerned only with the status of the policy at the moment of the accident. Other than that, it will not come into play. Any delay would be very minor (as long as it takes someone in the coverage dpt to determine that there was coverage on the date of loss). However, if the insurance was lapsed on the day of the accident, this will, of course, cause there to be no coverage for the accident.

Do you have to pay auto insurance if your car is totaled in an accident and may not have another car for several months?

If the only insurance you have is on the totaled car, you will not be required to carry a policy on it anymore. However, it is never good to have lapses in the dates you are insured. I suggest having them to lower your insurance to the most basic your state allows and carry that until you get another car.

Can finance company repo your car if your insurance lapses?

You usually have to have insurance in case you have an accident. The finance company can then retrieve the debt from the insurance company. If you do not have insurance then they will have to retrieve the debt from your other assets such as your house if you have one! If they perceive that you are a bad risk they may look at getting the car back if there is enough equity in it but they will still want any outstanding dues. Better to keep up the insurance. They may not know the insurance has lapsed unless you notify them.
