Sometimes a police report addresses who was more At Fault and a cite may be issued. It does not mean that the other party was completely not at fault. If you ask almost anyone that has been involved in a collision, its never their fault. I dont say that to be sarcastic, but drivers have different viewpoints of the events and whats "fair". For clarification and additional information you can hire a collision reconstructionist such as myself to review the report and offer suggestions on your position and options.
Someone was at fault if their was an accident. Just because you didn't get a ticket, doesn't mean that the Police Officer didn't cite one driver for the accident. The codes tell who is at fault. Police have become way to cautious about issuing tickets in accident situations because they don't want to be called to court in these situations. The codes on the accident report tell who is at fault.
The conflict of interest is at a no fault. The sentence should read "We had no fault for the car accident".
No. Just the fact of being unlicensed does not mean that the driver did something that caused the accident. Being unlicensed is what is called a non-moving violation. Another violation of this type may be not having a current registration tag on the vehicle. Just because you don't have a tag on your car doesn't automatically make you at fault for someone hitting your car. Fault for the accident will have to be determined by the police officers after they investigate the scene and take statements from witnesses. The person who is driving without a drivers license will get a ticket for not being licensed and then whoever was at fault will receive a violation for whatever they did to cause the accident.
The at-fault party's insurance should cover your vehicle. EVEN THOUGH OUR INSURANCE HAD RUN OUT BY AMONTH?
The police give citations to those who they believe to be at fault. That person is not 'found' to be at fault other than in a court of law.
Whether the car is insured is not important, the point is who was at fault in causing the accident, it could be the person whose car is insured that is at fault.
yes, but even if only your car was damaged, you could be charged with an at-fault accident even if you didn't get a ticket.

Technically it would be the fault of the person opening the door. You are not supposed to put parts of your car into the path of a car. Having said this, no accident is ever 100% someone's fault. In Wisconsin you are 10% at fault just for being there.
It depends what the other person in the car accident was doing.
If you have no insurance you may get a ticket, but you will want a police report on the accident to claim their insurance, if they were at fault. so call the cops
No. If the accident was your fault, you can not get money from the other person's car insurance.
