It lapses which means it cancels. Most insurances will do this after 30 days of unpaid premiums but some can be as quick as 1 day late (cobra) and some allow up to 90 days (Aflac). If a policy lapses, you might have reinstatement or reactivation provisions. Reinstatement is where they will activate the policy with lapse in coverage and Reactivation is where they will activate the policy without lapse in coverage by accepting payment for back premium. Ask about both and your options.

AnswerIf you do not pay your premium two things may happen:

If it is a term policy, it will lapse;

If it is any type of a cash value policy, the premium will be taken (in most cases automatically) from the cash value. If the cash value is not sufficient, the policy will lapse.

Before any of this happens though, the insurance company you are with will send you a notice that will tell you exactly how much you need to pay and by what date in order to keep the policy in force.

What happens if you get into a motorcycle accident and you dont have insurance and its your fault in Florida?

You are responsible for the damage you cause in an accident, regardless if you are insured or not. Having insurance transfers your responsibility to pay for the damage from you to your insurance company. If there are injuries to the other party, then the other party's insurance should pay for their injuries, but you are still responsible for the property damage you have caused the other person.

What happens if you pay your car loan so it doesnt get repossessed but you dont have insurance?

Your car finance company will add their own insurance that covers their vehicle, but not your liability. ANd it will significantly increase your payments. It would be so much cheaper and better protection for you to find your own insurance. Park it until you get insurance.
