The Other Driver Does Not Have Insurance. What Should I Ask About?
The Other Driver Does Not Have Insurance. What Should I Ask About?
If the other driver does not have insurance, it may help to review your own auto policy, especially any uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, and save the police or CHP report, photos, repair estimates, medical information, and insurance communications. Insurance questions can depend heavily on the policy and facts.

Why your own insurance policy may matter
When the other driver has no insurance, people often assume there is nowhere to turn. But your own auto insurance policy may contain coverages that become relevant, depending on what you purchased and what happened.
You do not need to interpret the policy by yourself before asking for help. It can be enough to gather the declarations page, full policy if available, claim number, adjuster letters, and any communications from your insurer.
What to save after the accident
Save the same accident information you would save in any car crash: photos, driver information, vehicle information, report number, repair estimates, medical information, and witness names. If the other driver said they had no insurance, write down when and how that was stated.
California drivers are generally required to be financially responsible for injuries or property damage from accidents, and DMV materials explain insurance and financial responsibility requirements.
What questions to ask during a free consult
You may want to ask what documents are most important, whether your own policy should be reviewed, whether uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage could be relevant, and what insurance communications you should save.
An attorney may also ask whether you reported the accident, whether anyone was hurt, whether property damage occurred, and whether the insurer has already opened a claim.
