What Happens If the Other Driver Has No Insurance in California?

Being involved in a car accident is stressful — but it can become even more complicated when the at-fault driver has no insurance.

In California, this situation is more common than many people realize. When it happens, your ability to recover compensation may depend on your own insurance coverage and the steps you take after the crash.

Many drivers are surprised to learn:

• You may still have options even if the other driver is uninsured
• Your own policy may include coverage you didn’t realize you had
• Certain mistakes early on can limit or eliminate your ability to recover compensation

Understanding how these cases work can make a significant difference in the outcome.

If you’ve been injured in an accident involving an uninsured or hit-and-run driver, it may be worth taking the time to understand your rights before making decisions with an insurance company.
