depends on your insurance. Some insurances allow you to go trough them and they cut you a check for the damage minus your deductible, other insurances make you go trough the other person's insurance and it's a waiting game.

Usually if an accident is determined not to be the insured's fault, then their insurance rates will not rise as the insurance company did not lose any money from covering the driver involved in the accident. If the accident is determined as being inconclusive, the rates may rise some, to adjust for the amount of money the insurance company lost in the accident.

Your uncle was driving a vehicle that is in your name and was in an accident The other driver hit him He has no insurance on the vehicle although he bought it from me. My policy is expired?
The driver who caused the accident is at fault. However, since that person has no insurance, you would have to sue them in court for damages. Chances are if they have no money for insurance they also will not have any money to pay a court fine or court ordered award to you. Since your policy expired, the total accident then becomes No Fault/No Fault for both parties and everyone walks away sustaining their own damages and the methods for financing their own repairs.

What is an Auto Accident Attorney?
Auto accident attorneys represent individuals involved in car accidents. These attorneys can represent plaintiffs or defendants and may be hired by a driver’s insurance company to represent the driver or the insurance company. Plaintiffs’ automobile accident lawyers are available for those that have suffered injuries in a car wreck. The lawyers will consider the case and if there is a potential lawsuit. If so, auto accident attorneys will notify the other party or parties in the wreck. The case may never go to court and the auto accident attorneys may work out a settlement that all involved parties agree to. Defense lawyers for car accidents will assist parties that are being sued after an auto accident. An auto accident attorney that works on the defense side will attempt to show that there was no fault on the part of the driver he or she is representing or try to negotiate a lower amount that that person will have to pay for the accident and any injuries. An auto accident attorney may be retained or hired by an insurance company. Car insurance companies will hire attorneys on behalf of their clients as the attorneys will help reduce the liability costs that the insurance company may have to bear after an accident. The auto accident attorney does this by working in a similar capacity as he or she would as a defense attorney. The aim is to settle for an acceptable amount or demonstrate that there was little or no fault on the driver being sued. Additionally, an insurance company’s auto accident attorney may work to recover costs from another driver or insurance company. The auto accident attorney functions like an attorney for a plaintiff. The car accident lawyer pursues payment of costs incurred by the insurance company in covering damage or injury suffered by the driver. As a result, the driver that was not at fault gets all repair costs paid for, but the insurance company recovers that money from the driver that was at fault without the driver without fault having to wait for a settlement.
