Closed: Here are some resources
Insurance serves as a crucial financial safety net against unforeseen events. However, lapses can occur due to missed payments, financial changes, or human error. If this happens, immediate action is essential to minimize risks and financial setbacks. Here’s a guide on what to do when your insurance lapses.
Understanding an Insurance Lapse
When an insurance policy lapses, it means the policy is no longer active because the premium was not paid. During this period, you are not covered, and any claims made will not be honored by the insurance company. This can affect various types of policies, including auto, home, umbrella, motorcycle, boat, and life insurance.
Immediate Steps to Take
1. Contact Your Insurance Provider
If you realize your insurance has lapsed, immediately contact your insurance carrier. We have provided a list of contact numbers for various carriers -
