- Who was At Fault in the collision? Why were you driving a vehicle that was not insured. Surely the drivers license test in your state asked you specific questions about insurance and you had to know that driving while uninsured is illegal. If you were at fault you are PERSONALLY responsible for the car and the damage that you caused. While the victim may go after both you AND the owner of the vehicle, legally you are responsible.
- In the UK if the accident was your fault you will be liable, but if you were driving the vehicle with the knowledge of the owner - the owner too is liable and in turn his insurer will indemnify a claim. UK and European law tries to track back to a motor insurance company so that a innocent victim receives the correct amount of compensation. Driving without insurance is a criminal offence, but if the accident was not your fault you should not be liable for injury and damage to another's vehicle.

Your car was in an accident in Florida It is registered in New York the insurance was in cancellation the car was not being driven by you and was totaled what is your recourse?
Your question is extremely confusing. Whose car is registered in New York? Whose car lacks insurance? Whose car caused the accident? Who was driving the car? All of that may or may not be relevant. In Florida the person who caused the accident is usually responsible for property damage whether or not he or she has car insurance. It does not matter where the car is registered. In Florida, people go after both the driver and registered owner. The driver caused the accident and the registered owner gave the driver permission to drive the vehicle. Collecting one cent is frequently a different matter.
