As to auto insurance, the insurer will not offer physical damage coverage on a vehicle that currently has damage. And they surely should not have to pay for a claim that was already paid for two years ago.

Insurers may have access to a centralized claims registry, at least as to claims that resulted in significant damage and therefore, great repair expense.

A new insurer is not responsible for damage that occurred before its policy went into force. Therefore, it will want to know the condition of the property as of the effective date of its policy. This is usually done by having an inspection of the property done, usually at the insurer's expense. Part of that inspection will likely involve questions about prior damage.

It is important to be truthful in the answers. The insurance company bases its decision to insure and the premium that it charges, based on its assessment of the risk. This includes these kinds of questions. If the answers are not truthful, the insured runs the risk of the insurer canceling the policy based upon "material misrepresentations". A material misrepresentation is a misrepresentation that the insured relied upon to its detriment by issuing a policy that it would not have issued, or charging a premium lower than it would have charged had it known the truth.

If given a ticket for no proof of insurance and insurance had lapsed but have since gotten insurance what should I do?

the only thing that matters is whether or not you had insurance at the date you got pulled over. if you got insurance two weeks later that will not work. if you had valid insurance but did not have a copy of it with you contact the court and let them know...they will ask for proof of coverage. if you can provide that they will dismiss the ticket. acceptable proof of insurance is an insurance card showing you had coverage on said date or a letter of experience from your insurance company.
