When you have an auto accident and are not covered

Hello Cher,

I’d not ask you why your daughter was driving without coverage, but, yeah, he must compensate the other driver for his damages.

If he turns the claim to his insurer, they would pay for his damages and then would subrogate against you for the loss they have paid including his deductibles.

In the State of Texas, if your husband is found at fault for the accident he is facing license suspension until the judgment is paid in full (if a judgment is filed). In addition, he may be required to carry an SR22a, meaning he will have to pay for insurance in full, cash, for a minimum of six months. Also, with the passage of the Driver Responsibility Act back in 2003, he will be required to pay a $250 a year fine for 3 years in addition to the no-insurance fine the county imposes. And yes, you will be required to show proof of insurance to get the car out of the impound lot.

As stated in previous posts, it's much cheaper just to buy the insurance in the first place or to use alternate means of transportation.

I was the uninsured motorist due to mishap with my insurance company at the time of the accident. The officer recored the policy# wrong on the police report and I received a new policy on the same day.

Am I responsible for the other person's vehicle since they hit me but I was uninsured? What can I expect?

I'm sorry we missed your post... Embarassed

First of all ring that grand daughters neck! Mad Most importantly is do NOT hide from the carrier...secondly, I've got a few questions to better understand the situation and provide help you'll need to answer them:
>Do you have insurance on any other vehicle?
>If so, contact that carrier and see if they will afford coverage, (i highly doubt it but worth a shot)..
>does your grand daughter live with you ?
>if not who does she live with?
>Is she a minor?
>What state are you in?
>how long ago was it?
>when did she tell you about it? I'm sure she has received letters as well, did she tell you when she got them?
>What EXACTLY happened in the loss?
>Did she have any passengers in the vehicle?
>Are there any injuries claimed?

You'll need to contact the carrier and set up a payment plan...IF your grand daughter was 100% liable for this loss...

If you were at fault yes, if you were not at fault, then no.
