What can I do if I had a car accident and is at fault but has no insurance?

David F. Stoddard
Answered by attorney David F. Stoddard (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at The David F. Stoddard Law Firm
First, if you had permission to drive the car, and the car was insured, then the insurance on the car might be liable. Discuss this with the insurance company for the car. If they deny coverage, consult an attorney for a second opinion. If it is the insurance for the car you were driving, or for the other driver, tell them you are sorry, but you cannot pay it. They might sue you, but if you have no assets, you are judgment proof. They cannot force you to pay it, only have the court take your assets, which only works if you own real estate. Incidentally, if it is the insurer for the car you were driving that is after you, I do not believe they have a right to collect from you.

Is there anything I can do to prevent getting sued for an accident?

You should contact your State's motor vehicles agency to determine if its records reflect title and possession of the car in your sister's name, especially during the date of the accident. If not, you should see that those records are corrected by providing the necessary documentation. Additionally, you may want to retain a defendant's accident attorney for specific advice and direction regarding any pending litigation for an accident caused by your sister.

Shall I also file I claim with her insurance company and am I at any risk?

Just tell your auto insurer all the details, and rest assured that they are experienced in handling this type situation. Unless you are injured, there is no need to file a claim, after the property damage is taken care of.
