- Whether or not you’re required to notify your insurance company after a DUI depends on the facts of your case.
- And the best way to think this through is to answer this question.
- Was there an accident involved with your impaired driving charge?
- If the answer is yes, you must notify your insurance about what happened and your charge.
- If the answer is no, in other words, there was no accident involved with your DUI charge, then the issue of letting your insurance company know about your DUI depends on your agreement.
- Specifically, your insurance policy agreement will outline what you need to disclose and when regarding charges and convictions in a non-accident context.
- And, remember that you cannot lie or mislead your insurance company under any circumstances.
Do I have to tell my insurance company if I'm charged with a DUI?
Yes, you are required to disclose any criminal charges, including a DUI, to your insurance company. Failure to do so can result in your insurance policy being void, which means that you won't be covered in the event of an accident.
What happens if I don't tell my insurance company about my DUI charge?
If you don't tell your insurance company about your DUI charge, your insurance policy may be deemed void, which means that you won't be covered in the event of an accident. Additionally, if the insurance company finds out about the charge after the fact, they may refuse to pay out any claims and you may be left to pay the damages out of pocket.
