QUESTION
car accident both drivers suspended license and neither insured
Asked on Jul 21st, 2016 on Automobile Accidents - Florida
More details to this question:
My husband bought a truck and out of a mistake, had not added the truck to our insurance policy. He loaned the truck to his nephew who we thought had a valid drivers license. Nephew rear ended another vehicle. Nephews license was suspended without our knowledge. Other driver had suspended license and no insurance as well and other driver was taken to jail. One passenger in other driver's car was taken to hospital with minor injuries. Florida is a no fault state. I know we need to hire an attorney but I am just trying to get a feel for what we may be facing. So, loaned vehicle with no insurance, neither driver had insurance or valid driver's license. What kind of a mess are we in? Passenger who was taken to hospital has hired an attorney.

You may find yourself being sued for damages, in an amount that is currently unknown, and will likely have the owners drivers license suspended and need for an SR-22 for future insurance at ridiculous rates.
