Sorry to hear about your accident. You should still be covered since it sounds like you didn't miss your payment. Sometimes, if you completely change your due date, you can miss a billing cycle. In terms of your accident, you should still be covered. Due dates are notices of bills to be paid. As long as your insurance was not canceled by the insurance company for not paying, they will honor a claim. Again, all of this depends on the exact details of your policy. I recommend checking out our short guide on claims for additional info. Good luck!
