Reply to comment by Vegetable_Medium_458 in Plow truck hit me and plowed me off the road in Manchester NH and it’s the plows fault and the police report says so, but some lady in an office sent me a letter and said it’s 51% my fault and they’ll pay nothing, my 2016 Ford Fusion is destroyed and I’m in debt. I What can I do? by Vegetable_Medium_458

See other comment. How far out of insurance are you right now? Can you call your insurance company, tell them you forgot to pay but had this accident, and see if you can square up to have them take care of it? Worse that happens is they tell you to pound sand.

Definitely probably do not call them and tell them that now that you have been in an accident with a state vehicle, and fault is in question, you'd like to get your lapsed insurance squared up

They're going to express how absolutely fucking elated that they are to hear that your insurance lapsed before you got assblasted by a plow truck, and that's about it

You might (NotLegalOrIllegalAdvice) have better luck, if you're not too far outside of coverage, calling and trying to get your shit reinstated without mentioning the accident

Considering that as soon as you submit that claim, they're going to fucking eagle-eye your entire shit, and that you are going to be getting into it with the State, I'm not entirely sure how deep you want to get into trying to submit a claim under lapsed insurance in that circumstance

My wife was dating a guy a few decades back that canceled his insurance and then drove it to the shop he was selling it to. Got into an accident on the way there (his fault) and was responsible for the entire cost of the accident. He lost his license for two years until he could pay it. Letting insurance lapse is too risky, but I know the struggle. Hindsight's always clearer. Not ragging on you, just sharing.
