FAQ
In some cases, you may be able to sue the uninsured driver directly. However, many uninsured drivers lack the financial resources to cover the damages they cause, so pursuing compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage is often the best route.
Notify Your Insurance Company: Since the other driver doesn't have insurance, your uninsured motorist coverage (if you have it) could be your best route for recovering damages. Inform your insurance company about the accident, and they will guide you on filing a claim under this coverage.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage: Protects you when the accident is caused by someone without insurance. Covers medical expenses and vehicle repairs. Collision Coverage: Pays for your car repairs no matter who's at fault. Usually comes with a deductible.
However, under California's proposition 103, insurance companies are not allowed to raise rates or drop a person because they made an uninsured motorist claim.
While jail is not a penalty for no insurance in Texas, you face hefty fines. You also become subject to financial responsibility laws. If you're charged with failing to file proof of financial responsibility, then you could face jail time.
Most insurers that offer accident forgiveness only allow it to be purchased for drivers with a clean driving record. You'll have to wait til the accident falls off your record, usually 3-5 years.

How Long Does Accident Forgiveness Last? Accident forgiveness can be a valuable addition to basic auto coverage, but it's not a license to crash. In most cases, accident forgiveness is only valid for one collision. If you're at fault in subsequent collisions, you can expect a hike in your premium.
Accident Forgiveness is per policy, not per driver. If you have multiple drivers on your policy, any of the eligible drivers may use this benefit once; after an eligible driver uses it, the benefit is no longer available for that policy.
Stay on the Record – Your accident will still appear on your record regardless of whether it's forgiven. If you ever switch insurance, your accident could still impact your premiums in the future, as they can see the accident on your record.
