The indictment can't help the effect on future premiums; however, a final decision reached four years ago after a series of under-the-radar court appeals might assist in understanding the provisions of your particular policy. Coverage can be excluded depending on criminal court findings:

Quote:
"...[The Federal Court's] finding that coverage was excluded under the provision in Section B regarding "any loss, damage or liability willfully, intentionally or criminally caused or incurred by an insured person..."
In other words, any civil suit decision comes "out of your hide" (and not your insurance policy) if you have the above provision in your policy.
