In California, the law is, if you in fact have an accident in California without insurance, and the dmv finds out about it, your license will be suspended for 1 year.
It could be an insurance policy taken out with an insurance company in case of an accident.
Because the accident could have been caused by the use of drugs.
No. Car insurance is insurance on the car not insurance on the driver.
"There are several comsequences for an accident that involves a DWI. For one, if the person is injured, it could result in an arrest, or the losing of your license."
If your insurance had to pay anything out on the incident, you could be hit with higher charges.
If they know about the accident, there should be a claim involved so it could.
An accident is something that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury. A consequence is a result or effect of an action or condition. So an accident could have many consequences.
One would or could go to various places. These places include the DMV, or the auto insurance company which distributes their auto insurance to claim an auto accident personal injury insurance claim.
If you have a current insurance policy and are in a car accident, but have an expired license, it is up to the insurance company if they will pay the claim or not. It could be in their clause not to, if a person does not have a valid drivers license, especially if you are the one at fault.
I have several old insurance policies from The National Life & accident Insurance company of my family & I was wondering how I could get information on them on how to cash them in.
You can lose your license if you were at fault. If you were not at fault you would be required to purchase insurace with the SR-55 form. This means you will pay higher insurance and will have to do so for three years. (The rules may have changed over the years.) After you have had 3 years of no accidents and no lapses in insurance then you would get another form from the DMV and you could purchase a lower cost policy. In California you can purchase liablity only insurance.
Please give me more information on this and I am sure I could help. Are you saying you did NOT have any accident at all, and the insurance company paid a second party for this loss? Please provide more info.
