AUTO ACCIDENT WITH UNINSURED DRIVER – MN LAWYER
New Law Requires Proof of Insurance with Vehicle Renewal
Minnesota law requires drivers to have insurance for their car. However, our lawyers see many car accident cases where the other driver that caused the crash is uninsured. This limits our injured clients’ rights to obtain full compensation.
Previously, MN did not require proof of insurance when registering or renewing vehicle registration. However, in 2015, the state passed new legislation requiring proof of insurance to get license plate tabs. The new statute is 169.798, subdivision 4. Here is the actual language of the statute:
Subd. 4. Insurance information required.
Every owner, when applying for motor vehicle or motorcycle registration, re-registration, or transfer of ownership, must provide information showing that the motor vehicle or motorcycle is covered by an insurance policy. Information required under this subdivision consists of the insurance company’s name, the policy number, and the policy expiration date for the subject motor vehicle or motorcycle.
Now, proof of insurance is required to get license plate tabs. We hope that with the new law more Minnesotans will be insured when driving their vehicles. This protects accident victims’ right to compensation after a car crash. There is nothing worse than being the victim of a car accident and then finding out the other driver had no insurance.
