Asked on Oct 27th, 2015 on Personal Injury - Michigan
More details to this question:
My husband was in a car accident (uninsured) with an insured teenage driver. Both cars were totaled. He had a green light when approaching the intersection (and has a witness).The other driver claimed she had a green light (and has a witness).No one was injured. We took care of our car, but now her insurance company is coming after us for $22,000 for her car. They said they didn’t have the police report, but have determined, based on her story, that we are at fault.

See an attorney, this is possible under Michigan law if he was driving and uninsured.

Under Michigan law, your husband violated the law by driving without insurance. You can hire a lawyer and defend getting sued by the other driver. If you win by proving it was the other person's fault, you won't have to pay the other person for property damage.
