Yes, he or his insurance company, has to pay for your damages. But since you don't have collision coverage, your insurance company isn't going to help you collect. You have to file a claim with his insurance and they will probably try to get out of it so you will have to file a lawsuit. Find one of those lawyers who advertise on TV. They just love to sue drunk drivers and will take your case with no fee if they do not win a settlement.

What if you only have PL PD on your car and while its parked it gets hit by a drunk driver with no insurance in the state of michigan?
That means that you have liability coverage only, which does not cover your damages. If the other driver is uninsured, the only option left is, to take him to court and sue him for your damages.

What are your rights if you are hit by a drunk driver while sitting at a stop light?
The same thing that anyone would be entitled to if hit by a sober driver: repair or total loss settlement of the vehicle; possible medical coverage if your state doesn't require you to have your own auto medical coverage; and possibly a bodily injury claim if the person sitting at the light was injured. The "drunk driver" part could come into play if, say, the bodily injury portion of the claim went to trial. A sympathetic jury or judge might say the drunk driver's condition at the time of the loss would increase the value of a bodily injury claim. Still, the drunk driver's insurance carrier would only pay the value of the bodily injury claim, which doesn't include punitive damages found against the drunk driver.

Once your policy was cancelled you no longer have coverage. Hopefully the drunk driver has good enough insurance to take care of your damages.

If a drunk driver with no license or insurance rear ended a parked SUV that hit your car that hit the next car is the SUV driver liable for your claim and are you liable for the front car?
Each person's insurance should cover their own vehicle. It's part of un and under insured driver coverage. It protects you against a case just like this. Now if the person doesn't have it then that is their own fault and they will have to pay for the damages out of their own pocket. The individual insurance companys should repair the vehicles and then they will turn around and draw a lawsuit against the drunk-driver for the cost of all the damages. Most states will put all blame on the drunk driver, but it is possible that your state might be different. The police report will be your best sourc of that information.
