Did not have correct insurance
Question Details: I have a car that I have a loan on. I was sold an insurance policy that was not full coverage-only liability. I had the policy for over a year and I was never notified by my bank, DMV or my insurance company that I did not have the correct insurance. My wife wrecked the car and all parties are not going to do anything, I am stuck with a wrecked car that I do not have the money to fix. Is anyone at fault for this insurance mishap or am I at fault for not knowing I did not have full coverage. Is there any way I can get help? Thanks, Matthew
Insurance Law Law Answers
California law requires you to carry a minimum amount in car insurance. These minimum amounts do not pay for your injuries or car damages. You can choose to carry more insurance if you want.
Unless you can show that the insurance company did not explain to you what coverage you were buying and your options(misled you), you are probably at fault for choosing to only have the minimum required insurance.
