FAQ

Accident Forgiveness is per policy, not per driver. If you have multiple drivers on your policy, any of the eligible drivers may use this benefit once; after an eligible driver uses it, the benefit is no longer available for that policy.

For drivers in California, accident forgiveness isn't an option. Proposition 103, which passed in the state in 1988, outlaws “excessive” insurance rates and accident forgiveness was deemed excessive as you're essentially paying for coverage on an accident that hasn't happened yet.

Stay on the Record – Your accident will still appear on your record regardless of whether it's forgiven. If you ever switch insurance, your accident could still impact your premiums in the future, as they can see the accident on your record.

How Long Does Accident Forgiveness Last? Accident forgiveness can be a valuable addition to basic auto coverage, but it's not a license to crash. In most cases, accident forgiveness is only valid for one collision. If you're at fault in subsequent collisions, you can expect a hike in your premium.

Accident forgiveness does NOT mean your rates won't go up in the future. It simply means you will not be surcharged for the accident. Your rates will continue to increase at the same rate they would have if you didn't have the accident.

Uninsured motorist claims: three years from the date of the collision. Underinsured motorist claims: three years from the date of the collision.

If you have uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage and your insurance company denies or delays your claim unreasonably, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. Before filing a lawsuit, consider these steps: Review your policy: Ensure that UM/UIM coverage is included and that the accident is covered.
