Can you receive money from an auto insurance claim after sell the car?

Yes, you can. When you sell a car, you transfer the ownership to the new owner, but the insurance claim is a separate matter. If you have a valid claim for damage to your car that occurred before the sale, you can still pursue it even after selling the car.

Auto insurance claims are independent of your car ownership status, so you can continue to process your claim with your insurance company regardless of whether or not you still have the vehicle. You will need to provide the necessary documentation and information related to the accident and the damages to your insurance company, and they will assess the claim accordingly.

It's important to note that the value of the claim will be based on the fair market value of the car before the accident, not the amount you sold the car for. It's a compensation for the loss or damages you incurred due to the accident.

The process and timeline of receiving the claim payout may vary depending on your insurance provider and the specific circumstances of the accident and claim. Make sure to stay in contact with your insurance company and provide any additional information or documentation they may require to expedite the claim process.
