In California, it is illegal to drive without auto insurance. However, despite this law, there are still many uninsured drivers on the roads. If you are involved in a car accident caused by an uninsured driver in California, you may still be entitled to compensation for your injuries. The issue can become complicated if the accident was severe and your medical bills and other expenses exceed that of your liability limit. If you have uninsured motorist coverage on your insurance policy, you can file a claim with your own insurance company to recover compensation for your injuries.

A car accident is undoubtedly a negative experience that can be made even worse when the other driver (usually the one at fault) flees the scene. The best case scenario would be security footage of them fleeing the scene or a witness testimony where their license plate was captured. If caught, they will receive additional charges for leaving. However, it’s not always that easy, so it’s important to have uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage in your insurance policy.
