Twenty-nine states require auto insurers to pay for the sales tax after you replace your crashed vehicle with a new or used one (see list at right). However, that doesn't necessarily mean insurers in those states are going to offer to pay sales tax up front, nor does it mean insurers in states that don't require those reimbursements will refuse to pay. That’s why it’s important to ask the insurer to reimburse you, and why consulting experienced car accident lawyers can help ensure you receive the full compensation you’re entitled to under the law.
