QUESTION
How do I fight if I get sued for an accident which is not my fault and I do not have an insurance?
Asked on Jan 09th, 2014 on Automobile Accidents - Michigan
More details to this question:
I didn't even know about the case until I tried to get my license and all state has a hold on it. They said I was the one driving according to the police report now they say they won't lift the suspension until I pay them 7400 dollars.

You are probably going to have to get a lawyer to help.

That is what happen when you drive without having insurance. So you will have to hire a lawyer to try and fight the case. If you loaned your car to someone and they had an accident, you would be responsible as the owner.

The suspension of driving privilege is most likely a result of no insurance rather than fault. Cal. law requires insurance. You can file suit to determine fault if the insurance co. refuses to negotiate.

Happen s all the time. they apparently got a judgment against you. you need to pay the judgment and get clear with DMV you are pretending that all this was by surprise. I doubt it. they probably wrote you and made demands and then sued you and then got the judgment. You should have taken steps years ago to take care of it by acting like you didn't know anything about anything will get you nowhere in the system.

It would appear you are in Michigan and have suffered a default judgment for an uninsured accident. At this point your best bet would be to pay them, by installments if possible, to allow you to qualify for a license. In Michigan driving without insurance is DISASTER.
