Insurance Issues and DUI

A DUI Conviction's Effect on Your Car Insurance

Jail, the loss of driving privileges, court fines, attorneys' fees—these are some of the significant consequences that become immediately apparent to people following an arrest for DWI. One consequence that people tend not to recognize right away is the significant effect a DUI conviction will have on their car insurance for years to come.

Contact The Law Offices of Gary E. Gerson and talk to a lawyer who can have a significant impact on the outcome of your case.

At the Law Offices of Gary E. Gerson, we understand all of the serious consequences that a DUI can have and fight aggressively on behalf of our clients to obtain the best possible outcome in every case. Our attorney, Gary E. Gerson, represents clients facing DUI charges in the Pittsburgh area and throughout western Pennsylvania and has more than 20 years of criminal defense experience.

In Pennsylvania, convictions for drunk driving stay on your drivers' record for a minimum of ten years. During this time you can expect to pay a great deal more for your car insurance than you did before your arrest. If convicted, your current insurance may opt for cancellation of your auto insurance, a non-renewal of your policy, or choose to charge you significantly more for coverage.

In addition, there are some insurance companies that simply do not insure people with DUI convictions. In these cases, you will most likely have to seek insurance through a non-premium company catering to "high-risk" drivers at equally high prices. You must have an insurance carrier in order to regain your drivers' license.

A DUI conviction can raise your car insurance premiums sky-high. Call us toll free at (800) 514-1660 today for experienced DUI defense.
