Insurance Penalties and DUI in St. Lucie and Port St. Lucie

Insurance penalties are one of the many DUI penalties that a person may expect when convicted of driving under the influence in Florida. Insurance carriers must be notified when a state or federal court convicts a person of DUI (driving under the influence). The insurance company will then be required to file a SR-22 Form (future proof of insurance) with the DHSMV (Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles), which must remain on file for up to 3 years.

When a person is seeking to lift a driver’s license suspension after serving a sentence for DUI they will not be able to retain their driving privileges if a SR-22 Form was not filed or if they have no proof of insurance.

In many instances when a person is arrested and convicted of DUI they will have serious issues with their insurance carrier. A person will be seen has a high risk driver to the insurance company. This can either raise a person’s rates by assessing a penalty or cancel an insurance policy altogether. If the insurance policy is cancelled it can be extremely difficult to find good insurance coverage elsewhere, if at all.
