I was in an accident... Do I need to provide proof of insurance?

Question

I was in an accident at no fault of mine. The other driver rear ended me. The officer just asked me if I had insurance. I said yes and that was that. I didn't get cited the other driver did. I am just wondering if I should provide that proof to the courts or if I should just let it go and see if I get a letter in the mail from the BMV.

Answer 1

Most States require you to have proof of insurance in your vehicle at all times. I am surprised the officer didn't ask for it. Must have been because you were not at fault. Where I live, if you get stopped for any reason and don't have the insurance card, you walk from there.

Answer 2

of course u need insurance if u want ur car fixed and u dont want to go to jail

Answer 3

You don't need to do anything.  Your vehicle was insured, and you were not cited.  File a claim with his insurance company for the damages to your bike.

Answer 4

bring your insurance card with you...

Answer 5

Make sure you don't get stuck paying your deductible if it was his fault.
