What Are Your Options if A Medical Condition Caused A Car Accident?

If you are the at-fault driver, and your medical condition caused a car accident to transpire, then you should expect that your auto insurance covers the damages and injuries incurred from the incident to you and the victims. Generally, as a person with a medical condition, insurance providers have already raised your premiums accordingly and thus it is within their sphere of responsibility to approve of any claims that you or your victims make.

If you are a victim instead and was involved in an accident where the automobile was driven by a person with a pre-existing medical condition, you should know that you are nevertheless still entitled to a claim against their insurance provider. If both you and the at-fault driver lives in California, you can be certain that the driver will have auto insurance.
