How can I be compensated if the other party has no insurance?
You still can be compensated even if the at-fault driver has no insurance. Your own insurance company must offer you uninsured motorist coverage according to state law, unless you have specifically rejected it in writing. This coverage insures you in the event that a drive who causes an accident in which you are injured. Anyone else who may be using your car with your permission is also covered by your UM, or uninsured motorist coverage.
California mandates certain minimum liability insurance requirements to drive:
- $15,000 for one injured person
- $30,000 for multiple people injured
- $5,000 for property damage
In most cases, you are covered for accidents caused by an uninsured driver or in a hit-and-run accident. Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage can insure you and any passengers who were injured in your vehicle. It can even cover another person who was driving your car with your permission.
Similarly, if you purchased underinsured motorist coverage, this can cover you and any passengers who were injured. This type of coverage can pay the difference between the other driver’s insurance limits and the total damages.
