You would be. It's what is known as coincidental damage, and it means that some part of your vehicle happened to go out just around the same time you had an accident even though the accident may havehad nothing to do with the auto part that failed. You noted 6 months, so therefore I believe your accident had nothing to do with the part failure, it just happened to fail a short time after your crash. Engines and transmissions are usually pretty sturdy when it comes to crashes because they are held in by transmission and motor mounts. Note your cars' mileage. Engines usually last about250,000 miles and transmissions last around the same amount of time, if proper care is taken for them. If your car has less than 60,000 miles OR is 5 years old or newer, take it to an auto dealer because warranty will cover something like that. Hope this helps.

Yes you can file it several months after it has happened. However, it will be noted on the accident report that the event occurred several months ago and when you turn it in to your insurance company they will see that and probably deny your claim.

The insurance should cover an accident while it was in force. If you had insurance 2 months ago and the accident happened 2 months ago, coverages should apply. If the accident happened today and the coverage stopped 2 months ago, there should not be coverage.

Can you file a claim for damages to your vehicle if the accident happened more than 6 months ago?

I would say most likely not. For most states and most companies you usually have 30 days from date of accident to file the claim. However, you COULD file a claim and say it happened yesterday, but that's called insurance fraud.

What happens if you do not have auto insurance?

There are a variety of different scenarios that can occur if you are driving without insurance depending on whether you are caught by a police officer or if you cause an accident. If you are caught driving without insurance by law enforcement you will be issued a citation. The officer can legally impound your vehicle if they choose to do so. You will be responsible for showing up in court and pleading to your case. The judge can suspend your license, vehicle registration, issue fines, or sentence you to up to 6 months in jail. If you cause an accident and have no insurance, the party who suffers injuries and damage can take you to civil court for monetary compensation. The judge can grant wage garnishments and judgments against your assets. If your vehicle is financed, the lender will be notified you do not have insurance and will force place physical damage insurance to cover their financial interest in the vehicle. If you are forced placed insurance this will not offer you liability coverage, which is required by the state.
