Mistakes Made by People in Accidents in Florida – Mistake Number 17 – Not Listing All Household Residents when You Submit Your Application for Car Insurance, Ultimately Resulting in Denial of A Claim when You Need It Most, Which Is After an Accident

We all purchase insurance for the times when we need it most. Thus, it is a big mistake when you application for insurance is inaccurate as in some instances it can result in your claim being denied and your insurance policy rescinded for material misrepresentation. The most common mistake is when people sign an application for insurance, which does not list ALL household residents or ALL household drivers (the bottom line is that the applications are worded differently by different insurance companies; the questions should be answered accurately!). If you application lists you living alone and yet at the time that you filled out the application you had other people living at your household, this could result in the insurance company denying your insurance claim for material misrepresentation and ultimately rescinding your policy. This is a big mistake as we all purchase insurance for when we need it most, like after an accident! Thus, be sure to answer all the questions on a policy of insurance accurately, as if you do not it could result in your claim being denied when you need it most.
