What Can I Do If My Car Insurance Is Cancelled? 
Cancellations for non payment of premium may be able to be reinstated , provided that there has not been a history of such cancellations . Here in Connecticut , even if reinstated , they may be processed with a lapse in coverage . If that occurs , you will eventually receive a fine from the CT DMV covering that lapsed period as maintaining car insurance is required by law . If your car insurance is cancelled mid term or non renewed as a result of a serious infraction , you will be notified well in advance of that action so you can either remedy the cause , or obtain other , probably more expensive , coverage to avoid an even more costly lapse in coverage .
