Answer in brief
Which coverages to review after an accident and what to do if insurers decline you.
Content reviewed 8 November 2026. How this is assessed.
- Which coverages to review after an accident: An accident shows you where your policy did and did not help. Review liability limits, collision, comprehensive, uninsured motorist coverage and medical coverage before you renew or switch.
- If insurers decline you or you need an SR-22: If standard insurers will not cover you, your state may have an assigned risk arrangement. Your state insurance department can explain the options and take complaints.
- Can an insurer drop you after an accident?: An insurer can drop you after an accident in some cases, but state law sets the limits, and in the states reviewed here mid-term cancellation is more restricted than non-renewal.
