What can happen to my insurance rate after the DMV hearing but before the court hearing?

2 views 2 answers
During a DWI checkpoint, I had to do the FST and then was taken to the station for a breathalyzer. The machine did not register so I was arrested for "refusal to blow". My DMV administrative hearing was last month and had gotten recalled because the cop did not send in all of the correct paperwork. As a result, my license is not suspended and I do not need to get SR22 insurance. My next court date is next month, and I am hoping to have the DUI charges reduced. In the meantime, can my insurance rate go up since I have not been convicted/charged for DUI? And if my charges do get reduced, will the DUI still show up for insurance companies and will my insurance rate still go up? Thanks.

This all has to do with when you get "audited" by your insurance company. It usually only happens once every several years, but it depends on the company. There are other companies out there that offer gap coverage just for this scenario to try to extend the time it takes your insurance company to figure it out

It could go up... Asker, we're lawyers not insurance agents. Ask your insurance company.
