No. The state is not responsible for the accident or the driver. You can file suit against the uninsured motorist.
If you were in a car accident and the other person was at fault should her insurance pay for your rental car medical bills and all of your repairs?
yes, assuming the are all accident related and she is 100% negligent, and therfore liable/responsible for your damages.......if a specific problem with some of this give more details and i can be of more assistance.....It also depends on whether your state is a "no fault" state or not. In a "no fault" state, the parties involved in an auto accident are automatically reimbursed by their own insurance company. However, it is still possible for the victim of an auto accident to receive additional compensation for certain damages (i.e. medical expenses, pain and suffering, economic losses, etc.). If the accident victim's auto insurance policy does not cover the amount of damages they've sustained, they may want to consider legal action against the at fault driver. However, this all depends on the state the accident victim lives in and the amount/type of damages sustained.
