Legal Question in Insurance Law in Florida

Car accident

Involved in a car accident, and the other driver is at fault. I called my insurance company to report the accident and learned that they cancelled the policy prior to the day of the accident. If the other drive sues me, what are my legal ramifications and what options would I have being my inssurance was not in effect the day of the accident?

The Company must give you Notice at least 10 days before cancellation to allow you time to buy other insurance. If the cancellation was valid you will need legal advice to defend the case and protect your assets( if you have any}.
