Auto Insurance Claims: driving with broken arm, broken arm, san francisco bay area

Question
Hi Bennie,

I recently broke my right arm while skating. The doctor has placed the arm in a cast. When I asked him if I can drive, he told me that I can if I am comfortable with it. Since the injury, I have driven and I had no trouble controling the vehicle. However, will my medical condition affect the status of my auto insurance. In other words, is it legal for me to drive in California?

Thank you very much in advance.


Answer
Hi Jennifer,
I'm sorry to hear of your broken arm.  Bummer.
In order for a medical condition to have an affect on your legal right to drive in California, the doctor would have to file a report with DMV stating that you could NOT drive.
Since he has verbally approved your driving, there is no affect on the status of your insurance.

I hope you found this information to be helpful.
