The New Hampshire Department of Safety states that an SR22 form is a proof of liability insurance that needs to be submitted by car insurance provider.

This sr22 form is mandated by the New Hampshire DMV for Owner or Non Owner. This Sr22 certificate is valid until it has been canceled through sr-26 form. It is important to keep the Sr22 form active for the the time period you are required to have it, otherwise, your drivers license will be suspended.

The New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles states that an SR22 insurance is required for:

1. three years from the period of accident or from the time imposed by the hearing examiner

2. If convicted of 2nd offense of DWI, five years from the date of the conviction

3. If convicted of a serious offense while being mandated to carry an sr22 form; there’s another 3-year extension to carry an sr22 from the date of the offense

An SR22 form is a proof to the NH DMV that you have the required insurance of the state. You are usually required to carry an sr22 if you dont have liability insurance at the time of the accident. This form has to be files by your car insurance company with the DMV and your insurance company will need to inform the DMV if the sr22 has been canceled, terminated or lapsed.

The minimum liability insurance in the state of New Hampshire is 25/50/25. This means you will need to have at least the coverage of $25,000 for bodily injury liability per injured person up to $50,000 per accident. You will also need to have $25,000 property damage liability per accident.

A tree limb fell on my windshield and I would like to know if my liability insurance in Boise, Idaho will cover this?

No, if a tree limb that damaged your windshield will not be covered under your liability insurance. I suggest that you check with insurance agent if your property damage insurance will cover the damages.

Your property damage liability covers you if your vehicle damages other people’s property. Normally it is their automobile, however it could be a a house or a fence or any other property damaged in an accident. Bodily injury liability may also give for a legal defense if another driver in the accident files a lawsuit against you.

You will need a physical damage of comprehensive coverage on your vehicle so that your windshield will be covered from the tree limb.

If you only have the liability coverage in Boise, Idaho and you do not have the comprehensive coverage on your car your car insurance will not pay for the damage to your windshield. You may be able to obtain car insurance policy quotes on this website for physical damages of collision and comprehensive so that in the future your vehicle will be fully protected by your auto insurance.
