What if the Insurance Company Says My Policy Has Been Canceled After My Palm Beach County Car Accident?

If your insurance company had a valid right to cancel there is not much you can doto secure benefits; however, in some instances cancellation is not effective for failure to adhere to Florida law.  Usually two issues arise: cancellation for non-payment of premium or non-renewal of the policy.  If the insurance company tells you your policy has been cancelled, have your Palm Beach County car accident attorney investigate because the policy may not have been rightfully or effectively terminated.

Except when cancellation is for non-payment, Florida law requires at least 45 days writtent notice to insured prior to the effective date of cancellation.  If for non-payment, then the insurer only has to give 10 days notice so long as the notice states the reason for cancellation.  It is important to hire a Palm Beach County car accident attorney with experience in understanding insurance policies and auto insurance companies.  You may have a valid claim and not know it.  Don't let the insurance company  deceive you. Know your rights and entitlements under the law when you have been injured in a Palm Beach County car accident.
