Affidavit Car Accident Insurance Claim – After a car accident, one of the most important steps to take is to identify all available insurance policies. You need to learn the full extent of your insurance coverage to maximize your potential recovery. In the personal injury field, we use a form commonly called a “Statement of No Other Insurance” or “Statement of Insurance.” But what is a declaration of another insurance? How does it work? Check out our video and the following blog post.
In any car accident case, you need to find out what insurance is available to compensate you for your injuries. This is obvious. Does a negligent driver have $10,000 coverage? $25,000 in coverage? $250,000 in coverage? Of course, the amount of coverage affects many things including, of course, your ultimate recovery.
Affidavit Car Accident Insurance Claim
In most cases, your personal injury attorney will send a letter to the at-fault driver’s insurance company asking for insurance information. Under Section 627.4137 of the Florida Statutes, when you request insurance information, the insurance company must provide certain information. This includes the name of the negligent driver, the name of the insurance company and the policy limits.

But this begs the question. How do we know that the negligent driver has disclosed all insurance information? Or are there other insurance policies that provide coverage?
At this point, you should submit an affidavit that there is no other insurance. What is he looking for? Here is the pattern I use in my practice:
As you can see, the affidavit asks the negligent driver to identify all of their vehicles and whether any potential family members have insurance. Why ask for this information? Because in certain circumstances these other insurance policies may provide coverage for your loss. And if your injuries are serious, additional coverage can go a long way in keeping you financially protected.
Additionally, and as you can see, the affidavit asks the negligent driver to disclose whether he or she was up to date and the extent of their employment at the time of the accident.

If the negligent driver was working at the time of the accident, his or her employer could be liable for the accident. This, in turn, means that your employer’s insurance may apply to your accident.
In many cases, employers have large insurance policies. This will be very helpful if, again, your injuries are serious and the medical bills are large.
Fourth: How do we know the negligent driver is telling the truth in any other insurance statement
If you’re reading this post, you might be wondering: How do we know a negligent driver is telling the truth? What if he or she withholds or hides the existence of other insurance?

Unfortunately, this possibility exists. A negligent driver may not want to disclose the existence of other insurance policies.
A good way to protect yourself against this is to include specific language in your settlement agreement with the negligent driver. For example, you can include language in the notice that the settlement is void if you discover other insurance. Or, as another example, you can include language that the settlement only applies to that specific insurance policy.
In addition, in certain car accidents, it is common for plaintiffs’ attorneys to not only request a statement of other insurance, but also to request a financial statement. Why ask for a financial statement from a negligent driver? Because in some cases you will want to see if the negligent driver can make a personal contribution from their personal assets.
