Automobile Insurance Company Ewa, Hawaii HI

 

 

Reader’s Question:

A kid ran in front of my automobile and I hit her. She was not injured and my car was not damaged. The mother of the little girl said sorry. I did not feel the need to exchange information since there was no harm done to both parties. The mother called the police after I went away and filed a report. There were witnesses and saw what really happenned, but what I am concerned about is if I need to inform my car insurance company in Ewa, Hawaii about this?

Jane

Ewa, HI

Yes, you can let your Ewa, Hawaii insurance carrier know. Actually I had a kinda similar case that happen to me a few months ago, and even though the woman never filed anything against me, but still I reported it to my insurance insurance company. If I were you, I would call my insurance carrier as soon as possible. They will most likely get a statement from the witness and from you

Typically insurance policies have rules or terms that require you to provide notification of insurance claim asap, because it is possible for your your car insurance company to deny car insurance coverage if you have failed to do so, and it still depends on the exact terms of the policy and other factors You absolutely should tell your insurance company what happened.

Always remember also that sometimes witnesses go away. The statute of limitations might be long enough that they will just wait until you can no longer track down the witness, and then sue later on. That also happened to me.

Goodluck!

Reader’s Question:

I was hit by a vehicle at a stop sign but it was the other driver’s fault. I do not have auto insurance. Will the other driver’s auto insurance pay for the damages?

Tim

Honolulu, HI

Yes, typically. You have to report this loss to the other driver’s insurance carrier. A licensed claims adjuster will get your version of the incident as well as the other driver’s version. A claim adjuster will consider all of the facts along with any other information relevant to this accident. The decision will be made by the claims adjuster ultimately.

Additionally, you might receive a citation from the responding police officer for not having your own auto insurance. This could include a fine and you may have to provide proof that you have acquired an insurance policy. But of course, this insurance policy will not cover you for the loss that already happened.

In addition, your driver’s license might be suspended and you may have to satisfy the financial responsibility laws. This means is that you will have to purchase an SR22′ insurance policy.

Auto Insurance Policy North Kona Hawaii HI

Reader’s Question:

Will my car insurance policy number be the same if I have more than one vehicle in North Kona?

Bill

North Kona, HI

Yes, if all of the vehicles are on the same car insurance policy then even though there are multiple vehicles there will be only one auto insurance policy number. Normally you will be issued an auto insurance card for each car to carry with you and show to police officer if requested to do so.

 

Typically, each insurance card will have policy holder(s) name, the policy number, description of the vehicle and its vehicle identification number (VIN) on it. So while all of your vehicles are under the same car insurance policy number the insurance cards will differentiate between them all and list the vehicle that the insurance card is for on it.

Reader’s Question:

What happens when my vehicle windscreen gets broken and the stereo and other personal items inside my car gets stolen in Honolulu. Is this still be under my car insurance policy?

Frank

Honolulu, HI

The broken windscreen or windshield in your vehicle would normally be covered by comprehensive insurance policy though the personal belongings stolen from a car are usually not covered by car insurance policy but instead by a person’s renters or homeowner’s insurance.

Since I do not know the specifics of your auto insurance policies I am unable to tell you which coverages would cover this theft situation but your car insurance agent that knows the particulars of your policy and coverages can inform you how to make claims for your vehicle being broken into and your stereo and other personal items being taken in Honolulu HI.

Reader’s Question:

 

How long does a DUI remain on your driving record and impact your auto insurance rates in Pearl City Hawaii? I got a DUI about 6 years ago and my insurance rates never went up. I’m now planning on moving and obtaining new insurance. Will I my new insurance be affected by that DUI from 6 years ago?

Rachel

 

Pearl City, Hawaii (HI)

The Hawaii Department of Motor Vehicle site does not list how long a DUI remains on your driving record but I suggest that you contact the Traffic Violations Bureau at (808) 538-5500 for driving history information. As for insurance carriers they can go back three, five or seven years usually to check your Motor Vehicle Record and rate your car insurance policy.

Some states may have limits on the length of years an insurance carrier can look back, so verify with the Department of Insurance for the state in which you are moving to to verify what their regulations are regarding this concern.

Reader’s Question:

What is the first thing to do after I get my first moving ticket in Pearl City Hawaii?

Marx

Pearl City, HI

After receiving a traffic ticket in Pearl City Hawaii you will need to follow the instructions on the citation that you receive, which might include contacting the traffic court. By contacting the court clerk you should be able to know what your options are with regards the traffic ticket. A driver typically determines if they want to pay the traffic ticket and admit guilt or contest the ticket and not admit guilt.

If you don’t admit guilt and the courts agree with that evaluation, then your auto insurance won’t be affected. If the court instead agrees that the police officer giving you the traffic ticket was in the right, you will have to pay the the fine, court fees, and have the violation put on your driving record which could affect your auto insurance rate.

Reader’s Question:

I live in Koolaupoko, HI and have just been recently involved in a car accident. I think the vehicle will be declared a total loss but I would like to know is, how soon can I remove the total loss car from my insurance policy?

Pam

Koolaupoko, HI

Most insurance carriers will advise you that you should not remove a total loss car from your insurance policy until you are no longer using a rental car and your damaged car is no longer registered under your name. The car is usually no longer in your name at the end of the process of insurance settlement when you sign over the title to the insurance carrier and receive your check for the actual cash value (ACV) of the vehicle.

In many states, an insurance company will be able to remove the vehicle from your policy retroactive to the accident date when you are ready to take it off of your policy. You should discuss with your insurance provider at what point they would advise you to remove your coverages from the totaled car and if they can make the cancellation retroactive or not.

To know more about your total loss car or claims procedures you can speak with the insurance adjuster working your claim or you may try contacting the consumer division of the Hawaii Insurance Department.

Car Insurance Hawaii HI

Reader’s Question:

What are the advantages of purchasing Uninsured Motorist and Underinsured Motorist coverage in Hawaii? I live in Ewa, HI.

Mark

Ewa, HI

The minimum mandatory insurance coverage in Hawaii includes bodily injury liability of $20,000 up to $40,000 per accident and a $10,000 per property damage liability.

Hawaii insurance companies also offer uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverages to policyholders of auto insurance. You may buy a minimum of $20,000 per person of UM and/or UIM coverages. Uninsured motorist coverage will pay for serious injuries or death if the motorist at fault does not have insurance or in case of a hit and run accident. Underinsured motorist coverage pays if the motorist at fault does not have enough auto insurance.

UM and UIM insurance coverage advantages are in the added protection you get. This is different with bodily injury liability coverage which covers the other driver if you are at fault. Bodily injury liability insurance takes care of injuries to other party that you are responsible for, while uninsured and underinsured motorist pays for any serious injuries if the other party was uninsured or underinsured for your injuries.
