Finding Car Insurance After a DUI

The consequences of DUI will extend beyond the legal sentence received, and this can include facing higher car insurance premiums. Insurance companies will often base a client’s insurance premiums, at least in part, on his or her driving history. This will take into account criminal charges involving drinking and drug use while driving.

If you have been charged with DUI you likely have many questions and important decisions to make that can affect you for the rest of your life. At Thompson & Volquardsen, P.C., we offer the personal attention you need to help you in this difficult time and can help make sure your rights and freedoms are protected.

Vehicle Coverage After a DUI Conviction

If you are convicted of an Arizona DUI, you are facing immediate consequences. Sentences vary depending on the degree of the crime. Those who cause accidents or are multiple offenders will face more serious consequences, including potential jail time and fines.

After a DUI conviction, you will also have to ask your insurance company to file an SR-22 form on your behalf. This document proves that you have at least the state’s required liability insurance, and it also alerts your insurance company to your DUI / DWI conviction. Many insurance companies will still insure drivers who have been convicted of DUI. However, it will almost certainly result in increased premiums.
