Exception when insurer liable
Official statutory text
No driving privilege of any person shall be suspended under the
provisions of this chapter if the Department of Public Safety shall
find that an insurer was obligated to pay the judgment, at least to
the extent and for the amounts required in this chapter, upon which
the suspension is based but has not paid the judgment for any
reason. A finding by the Department that an insurer is obligated to
pay a judgment shall not be binding upon the insurer and shall have
no legal effect whatever except for the purpose of administering
this section. Whenever in any judicial proceedings it shall be
determined by any final judgment, decree or order that an insurer is
not obligated to pay the judgment, the Department, notwithstanding
any contrary finding theretofore made by it, shall forthwith suspend
the driving privilege of any person against whom the judgment was
rendered, as provided in Section 7-310 of this title.
