Question

i wasuder the impression that there was a law passed that make it to be where if someone witout insurance gets in a accedent that it becomes there fault if this is trueplease let me know and if you know the law information please ad that

Answer 1

dont think so

Answer 2

That would be a real dumb law.  A person with no insurance would probably not be able to pay.  So make the accident his fault - the person who can't pay....

good Luck....

Answer 3

It is not really that you are automatically at fault without insurance.  Just that you have no one looking out for you and need to provide your own defense at your own expense.  And lawyers usually get a percentage of the settlement.  So even if you are not at fault, you would likely not recover all of your losses.

And in CA if someone gets a court judgement against you for more than $500 related to an accident, your license is suspended until that is settled.

Answer 4

That is incorrect information.  Yes, it is illegal to drive without insurance or an adequate bond in CA, but that does not place that individual automatically at fault in an accident.  If you rearended an uninsured motorist, you are still legally liable for their damages.  

However, CA does have a "no pay, no play" statute which usually restricts recovery to economic damages only.  An uninsured motorist usually cannot recover non-economic such as "pain and suffering".

Answer 5

Not sure where you got that impression from.

Just because someone does not have insurance does not make them at fault for an accident.

I'm gathering you were at fault for an accident and the other driver had no insurance.Thats really trying to place the blame on someone else for your actions. Why should they be responsible for your carelessness?
