Question
Hi Ann,

Do Auto insurance have timely filing limit?

Thanks,
Venkat

Answer
It depends on each auto policy. Most insurance policies do have the "duty to report losses." If an insured fails to file a claim, then they could deny coverage.

There is no "state" limitation on this, but you probably will face the "reasonable and necessary" language described in the link above.

Good Luck
