Q: I was in an accident last week and i have no insurance but the driver at fault does do they still cover my damages?
The insurance company is telling me that since I had no insurance and had the car in my name 2 months prior to the accident there is nothing they can do since i had not put insurance on my vehicle before the accident. Is there anything i can do?
A:
Yes, if the other driver was at fault then their insurance company is responsible for compensating you.
If you were hurt, and have (or need) medical appointments, you should contact a lawyer immediately so they can work with you on how to get proper treatment and get keep the bills out of collections while the claim is handled.
