My husband was hit by an uninsured driver and he only got a 500.00 fine. Oh, and by the way, the UNINSURED driver just filed a claim with my insurance company, to try to receover damages to his car,WHAT about my damages? So, he is trying to get money in an accident he caused, and was driving around illeagally! How crazy is that! I suggest everyone keep full coverage insurance at all times to cover these idiots riding around with none.
If the accident was caused by the uninsured driver than the uninsured driver is definitely still responsible.
bananners!
If the uninsured driver had the permission of the insured driver to operate the vehicle then NOTHING will happen to the uninsured driver. In fact, in this case he or she is not an uninsured driver at all. The insurance follows the vehicle first, the driver second.
They will have to take the uninsured driver to court. Or if you have uninsured driver policy with your insurance, they will pay it.
It is highly unlikely.
Same as if it where 2 cars. The uninsured driver will be sited and then your insurance will pay for the repairs and try and collect from the uninsured driver, if you have uninsured or underinsured coverage, if not you can take the uninsured driver to small claims court.
Even if a driver was uninsured, the driver who was at fault is responsible for paying for repairs. Not having insurance does not take away responsibility.
If you are hit by an Uninsured Driver you should take the following actions- Contact the police, get information from and on any witnesses that saw the accident and get photographs of the vehicles and the accident scene. Another important step to take beforehand of the accident is to make sure you have Uninsured Motorist Insurance on your Car Policy.
Hopefully, you have uninsured driver protection. If there was physical injury to you or passengers in your car, a personal injury lawyer may be interested, but only if the uninsured driver has assets that justify the lawsuit. If the driver has nothing, there's no point in suing him.
Typically, the uninsured driver will be cited for it, and your insurance co. is liable for the damages.
Only if the driver was responsible and only for his liability
No. The state is not responsible for the accident or the driver. You can file suit against the uninsured motorist.
