Why you must not allow your CA car insurance policy to lapse
When finances are tight, you’re probably not in a mood to see a bill to renew your CA car insurance policy to show up in the mail. Without auto insurance however, you will be putting yourself at risk of critical financial pain, particularly in the event you cause a serious accident.
Imagine being uninsured and being found at fault for an accident which has physically injured someone. You may be sued for thousands, even millions, of dollars in damages. Imagine if not just the driver, but the three passengers of that car were injured. The medical expenses for all four occupants could possibly be astronomical. This is why it’s so important not to let an auto insurance policy lapse.
You are putting passengers riding in your car in danger should you let your policy lapse and you have an accident. You could be forced to pay medical expenses for the passengers in the event that they get injured. You may not have the cash to cover the expenses, thus putting their health seriously at risk.
Forgetting to renew your CA car insurance policy on time, even just for a matter of days could have consequences. Even if you’re lucky enough not to have an accident, you could be stopped by police and fined for driving uninsured. You may even have your vehicle impounded. That would be a costly exercise.
