Can I file a claim if I was injured in an accident that wasn’t my fault, but my insurance had lapsed?

  Technically, if you were not at fault, your lack of insurance is irrelevant to your claim. However, driving without insurance is illegal in Connecticut, and you may receive a citation. The insurance company may try to use this fact to deny your claim or lower the value of a settlement. If your case goes to trial, this should not be used as evidence, although a judge might still permit it.   Read a more in depth article about motorist policies in Connecticut here.   D’Amico, Griffin & Pettinicchi, LLC 465 Straits Turnpike Watertown CT, 06795   Phone: (860) 945-6600
