This is why you should always have liability coverage on your car. Even w/o full coverage (comp and collision) you would have been covered in this case because the other driver is uninsured. Your insurance co. would have taken care of everything and then gone after the guilty party.
What would you do if the car was set on fire? You'd be out a car.... very stupid to have no insurance on it.

Re: need legal advice *accident no insurance*
my car hasnt been running for long time. i shouldve had insurance for just incase purposes, but i didnt think about it. been sittin in the yard since last year un moved un harmed. so i didnt feel the need to have insurance, cause who knew when it was going to run.
anyone have any acciden lawyers that theyve worked with. ive called a bunch in the phone book, but they're more of the injury accident lawyers. so im not sure who to call. the few accident injury lawyers i did talk to said it seemed like a pretty clear cut case. just wanted to talk to someone who specializes in this situation. cause i dont wanna pay consultation for someone to give me i think information.

Yep. And good luck ever seeing a dime of it. If he's the kind of piece of shit that drives around with no insurance, you can bet he will avoid paying you at all costs. In all reality, I think you are genuinely fucked here.

also, if the car didnt have a plate, it legally doesnt have to have insurance. however if your car did still have a plate on it, it legally should have had insurance. doesnt matter if it was driven or not.
and if he has money youll get paid back, if not.....you wont. sucks. shitty situation.

his case was that someone with no insurance hit a covered trailer that was on the street with no tags or nothin. dont know how much that relates to me. but it kept my hopes up.
should i go to court now? or should i wait till the out come of his court case? i know the cops have to be there for his court case. theyre fully on my side and ive been in contact with them alot since the accident, so hopefully they can get somethin done during that case thatll help out mines. they wrote up a pretty awsome and in detailed police report.

Even if the car has no plate and doesn't have to have insurance by law it's still your property and it's something of value.
