Asked on Feb 18th, 2014 on Personal Injury - Georgia
More details to this question:
I was driving and a car pulled out in front of me running a stop sign causing me to hit them. They got out saying they were sorry they didn't see the stop sign and it was their fault. I left without getting info and later filed a police report. Was told by the officer I was not at fault. Was looking for my insurance couldn't find it. Found it later and was expired. So I was not covered by my insurance at the time of the accident. My questions are will this have any effect on me getting my vehicle fixed and will I be liable for any damages since I was not insured at the time.

In Michigan, you wouldn't be able to sue, but you may be able to in your state.

The fact your insurance expired will not affect the other party's liability to you.

You should be paid for property damage and any medical expense by other driver's ins., but not for pain and suffering because of no ins.

You will be able to get your vehicle repaired by the other driver, even though you had no insurance. However, if they know that, they will try not having to do so. You may have to retain an attorney to protect your rights.

No effect for your actual losses, eg. Car damages medical bills etc .You will not be entitled to any pain and suffering damages since you were uninsured.

No , if you were not at fault and the other driver was at fault, his insurance should pay for your damages, regardless of your uninsured status.
