Best Answer

The driver of the at-fault car is responsible for paying for the damage they cause to others in an auto accident. Having insurance transfers this risk from the driver to the insurance company. If you are found at-fault and do not have insurance you will be responsible for paying out of your own pocket for the damage you caused. If you do not have the money in the bank, or the assets to sell, be prepared to have future wages garnished. If this happens you may want to consult a bankruptcy attorney.
