What If the At-Fault Driver Has No Insurance?
Car accidents are stressful enough without the added complication of discovering that the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance. Unfortunately, this scenario is more common than you might think. If you find yourself in this situation, you may still have options to recover damages for your injuries.

If you don’t have UM/UIM coverage, you may be able to pursue the at-fault driver directly through a personal injury lawsuit. However, collecting from an uninsured driver can be difficult, especially if they have few assets. A skilled personal injury attorney can help you evaluate whether this route is worth pursuing.
It’s also critical to document everything after the accident: take photos, gather witness information, and obtain a police report. These steps strengthen your case whether you pursue a claim with your insurer or in court.
