Firstly,, If you are temporarily and unknowinlgly driving an uninsured non-owned vehicle and you do have liability insurance on your own vehicle, Then in Most cases that liability insurance from you own vehicle will follow you to the temporary vehicle as secondary coverage, so the accident may be covered under that policy. If No insurance exists to cover the vehicle then you can be subject to traffic fines for driving without financial responsibility, Impound of the driven vehicle, Possible arrest at the scene of the accident, Possible jail time, A Civil Suit may be filed against you by the claimant, Suspension of drivers license for up to 10 years or until such time as you have paid for the damages reulting from the accident. Once you have satisfied the associated losses from the accident you may also be required to maintain an SR22 Insurance filing to re-acquire your driving priveledges.

Sorry to say, Eva, but an uninsured car is not supposed to be on the public streets and a person with no license is not supposed to be driving a car. Since you contributed to the accident by violating these laws, you are at least partially at fault. The other driver's insurance company is going to deny any claim you submit.
