Will insurance cover a cracked frame?  Auto insurance is intended to cover an accidental loss of your vehicle (if you have physical damage coverage) and liability coverage if you cause damage or injury to someone else. If you know your vehicle needs repairs, you will not be covered for the damage to the vehicle. If you are expecting your insurance company to pay to repair your vehicle due to the frame being rusted, you will find that your insurance will not pay for the damages to the vehicle.If it is determined you knew your vehicle was unsafe to drive, and you caused an accident due to the condition of the vehicle, you could be held responsible by the insurance company. They will pay for any damage or injuries caused by an accident, but if the insurance company determines you knew the car was unsafe to drive, they could come back to you to reimburse them for the damages your vehicle caused. Insurance will not cover a cracked frame.
