I was driving my car and was rear-ended. The only problem was that my registration was expired and I forgot to renew it but I was still insured. Will it affect my claim against the driver who hit me?

Your expired registration generally would not affect your ability to file a claim with the at fault driver who rear-ended your vehicle. You should contact their insurance company as well as notify your own about the incident.

You need to get your registration renewed as soon as possible as well. It is likely your state will have penalties for the lapse that you allowed to happen.For a cheap car insurance quote start here.
