You have recourse but it may not immediately result in monetary compensation. You can certainly try to get the at-fault party to voluntarily pay the damages. You can also file suit and if the court finds in your favor, obtain a judgment. Most states have "financial responsibility" laws requiring auto owners and drivers to maintain insurance. If they don't, the state can suspend the driving and registration privileges of the person until the judgment is paid. Since, on these facts, the person did not have a license, there would be no license to suspend, but if he/she later tried to get one, or to register a vehicle, payment arrangements would have to be made with you before a license or registration is issued. Keep in mind, though that a judgment has a statutory "life" (for example, 7 years) that varies by jurisdiction. If the life of the judgment expires without being renewed, it loses force and effect.

What legal rights do you have when you are involved in an auto accident with a young uninsured unlicensed person?

Not sure what you mean by 'legal rights' you are due (assuming other driver is 100% at fault for the loss), to be put back in the same condition you were prior to the loss, even though they are uninsured and unlicensed, you don't say if the driver is a minor, if so perhaps you could look to the parents for payment. Is the owner of the vehicle different than the driver? If so that is another party to look to. I would file it with my own insurance company and let them handle this. If you do not have collision coverage, then I would start by filing a state report naming all parties.

What legal rights do you have when an uninsured motorist rear ends you?

If you have uninsured motorists coverage your insurance company will take the place of the other parties insurance coverage less a small deductible. They will then go after the other party to collect the amount of damages paid out plus your deductible. If and when it is all collected they will send you back your deductible. If your insurance company handles the claim for you and pays your damages you will have no further recourse as you sign over your legal rights to the insurance company under a subrigation agreement.
