It is in your best interest to file the SR-31 because the at-fault driver may turn out to be uninsured. The Alabama Department of Public Safety can suspend the at-fault party's license until compensation is received by you or your insurance company from the uninsured. The State can only take this action if an SR-13 has been properly filled out and filed with the department.

In certain situations, a driver's license will be suspended for failure to file an SR-31. Usually, the person who is at-fault in the accident is the only one to get suspended.
