It does not matter to an insurance company that the other driver had a suspended license. Liability is determined by the factors of the accident and the evidence put forth. The fact that the other driver had no license does not affect liability or the handling of the claim.

How many years is your licensed suspended if you do not have insurance on your car and you get in an accident?
This will depend on your State and what their regulations are
regarding this matter. In Georgia, your license will remain
suspended until you finish reimbursing the party you hit and their
insurance company who may have paid the claim under their uninsured
motorists coverage. They will allow you to make payments over time
to get it paid off. I remember a 15 year old girl that drove her
Mothers vehicle. Because, she wasn't a licensed driver, the
insurance company denied coverage and did not pay the claim. She
could not get her first license until the $5,000 damage she caused
was paid back to the other parties insurance company. The Mom had
insurance but did not notify the company of the drivers and let an
unlicensed driver drive the car and she new she had no license as
it was her daughter.

Can no fault ins be purchased with a learners permit?
No. In any US state insurance companies are only allowed to sell
auto insurances of any kind to licensed drivers. The reasoning for
this is because in the event that the person with the learners
permit fails their road test(s), then the insurance companies are
not held liable in the event of an accident. That is why there is a
manidtory requirement that the person with the learner's permit
drive with a licensed experienced driver in the car at ALL times,
so in the event there is an accident, the insurance company will
cover it under the licensed driver's policy.
Should Painting Contractors be licensed and carry Insurance?
Yes, painting contractors should be licensed and carry insurance
to protect both themselves and their clients. By having a license,
they show that they are competent to do the job and also take pride
in their profession. By having insurance, they are protecting
themselves and the client from undue harm and damages should an
accident occur.
Asked in Insurance, Auto Insurance
Will an insurance company insure a person who has a suspended license?
It's not likely due to the fact that the company would consider
the person a high risk. In most states it would not be legal to
insure a nonlicensed driver. In many cases person's who have a
licensed suspended will have valid insurance coverage cancelled or
at the very least resticted. This is not always true. If you go to
Progressive.com there is an option for a suspended license as you
can pay your ticket or take care of the suspension and remain with
your insurance company. Your premiums will be higher, but you will
be able to get insurance.

Where can you get car insurance with a permit?
I doubt there is insurance available to you. With a permit, you
are actually driving under the authority and liability of the
licensed driver in the car. It is their insurance that protects you
and other drivers in the event of an accident.
Once you have a driver's license and own your own car, you can
purchase insurance from almost any insurance company.

Drive with a suspended license in NH?
It's never a good idea to drive with a suspended license, in any
state. Here's why.
When you are caught -- and eventually, you will be caught, you
will not be allowed to drive the vehicle away from where you are
stopped. You'll be required to call for assistance to either drive
the car under the control of a licensed driver, or to have it towed
away.
When you are in an accident while driving with a suspended
license, this offence will compound whatever charges are laid on
you based on the accident.

Is a non licensed driver insured?
Yes and No. No insurance company will ever insure an un-licensed
driver. However, if a non-licensed driver is in an accident, where
not at fault, with another driver who is insured, that insurance
may still cover the injuries of the non-licensed driver. This is
very tricky, though. Some states have a type of fault where if you
were partially at fault for the accident as well, you may have your
damages reduced by the % you are at fault; other states will
determine that if you are 50% at fault, you get nothing. So, if a
state were to determine that you being un-licensed to drive was
worth 50% of the fault (that is, you should never have been there
for the accident to occur at all), you might not get any coverage
whatsoever. So, it depends on whether or not (and to what extent)
you were at fault, and what your particular state's policies are
for liability.
