Senior Car Insurance Question in Ohio
Reader’s Question:
I have a parent who is 85 years old and recently tried to renew his license but was denied for failure of an eye exam. He is still paying full coverage car insurance in Ohio. What would happen if he or someone else has an accident in his car? He is the only one rated by insurance provider and has not told them of his non-renewal.

Your 85 year old parent should contact his insurance provider and inform them of the situation regarding the non-renewal of his driver’s license. Since he does not currently hold a valid license, it is possible that his insurance provider would have the right to deny a claim if he was in an accident. If someone else is driving his car they might be covered under his policy, but only her insurance provider will be able to tell you the specifics of his policy and give you an accurate answer to this question.
Your elderly parent should contact his insurance provider to find out what suggestions they have. If he will no longer be able to operate, he might consider selling his car to someone who can insure it and drive him around. Most DMVs have an alternative transportation database to assist people who can no longer drive so you may check in Toledo Ohio for more information regarding this.

Good question Collette.
The liability insurance required for an SR-22 certificate in Ohio is state liability. It is not a physical damage coverage of collision and comprehensive like most financial institute will require an individual to have on their motor vehicle whether its a new car or a used car.
You may speak to your insurance agent regarding carrying or maintaining the required liability insurance for the SR-22. In addition to that, you may also ask them about the physical damages coverage that is being required by a insurance provider when you purchase a motor vehicle. You should be able to get both types of coverage to be able to maintain what the state and insurance company will require of you.
If you cannot get both types of coverage with your current insurance company, you may check other insurance providers that can offer you that. The easiest way to shop for quotes and offers, you may check websites of these insurance companies to get more information.
Goodluck!
