Coverage & Claims
Can I file a loss of use claim to get rental reimbursement in CT?
Connecticut does have a subrogation law which states you "are entitled to a comparable rental vehicle or reasonable compensation, for a reasonable period of time necessary to settle your claim or repair your vehicle." However, because you do not know who the individual is, I am not sure how would be the party to compensate you. Normally, you would need your rental reimbursement coverage.
Coverage & Claims
Can my ex insure the vehicle I am financing?
Yes. Your ex-wife can insure the vehicle as long as you are listed on the policy as a driver (because you are the one financing the vehicle) and listed as the additional interest since you have a financial stake in the vehicle. Also, make sure the finance company is listed as the lienholder on the policy.
