| Mostly likely yes if you were stopped at a light. Was there a police report? You wil need to file with the at-fault party's carrier. |

I live in Alabama and I was the passenger in a vehicle that was rear ended. The car that I was in was uninsured and the car that hit us was uninsured also. What should I do b/c I was hurt in the accident and I am now going through physical therapy.

do you have a vehicle of your own? If so surely it IS insured right? If you have UM you're covered..

Well, unfortunately there isn't much left, but sueing all partys involved...of course getting a judgement and collecting on one are two different animals.
Any chance you live with your folks and they have car(s) with insurance?

what course of action should I take? situation: I'm stopped at a red light and a van rear ends me. Light hadn't turned green nor had I just stopped. The guy says let's pull up and figure this thing out. As I'm about to pull over on the next block, he instead makes a right turn and tries to get away. He is obviously trying to get away from me, I reverse and follow him and finally catch him. At this point he comes out and acts as if nothing happened, so I ask why he went speeding away. He says he saw a cop coming. Now I tell my girlfriend to call the police b/c something isn't right. Turns out the guy has no license, no insurance and his girlfriend (who is maybe the owner of the car has expired insurance). The guy also is an illegal alien. She pleads with me to let him go b/c he'll get deported, obviously I tell her its not up to me and he won't get deported either way. He is taken away by the police. I have full coverage. I just moved to Chicago and my plates and insurance still show my Dallas, TX address. A police report was filed. What course of action should I take? Take the hit, repair the damages and see what, if any money, I can get out of them? Report it to the insurance company? thanks

You have collision coverage on your vehicle correct? Turn in the claim to your carrier they will repair your vehicle (minus your deductible), then they will pursue the 'at fault' parties involved including your deductible. Now what are the chances they will get it? pretty slim to be honest... | Quote: | | Report it to the insurance company? |
yep...and hope for the best...all states have either insurance or financial responsiblity laws..so your carrier (after making payment) will pursue those remedys...On a personal note, I'd contact the prosecuting attorney that is handling the case, and let them know that you would like them to add restituion to the case...but you and I both know this joker will never show up for court anyway, assuming they've let him out...especially if he's illegal...only real hope is that your carrier can get the girlfriend/vehicle owner to pay some back... you're welcome, I wish the news was better...great job by the way...chasin' that jerk down, and holding him for the cops..awesome! maybe just maybe one illegal on their way back home..

Yes I have collision coverage.
Total estimate is $2,600 for the damage, my deductible is $500.
Wait, can resort to calling INS and have them deported if they don't pay up at least the deductible? 
thanks for all the insight!

They will call you for a statement (maybe-should) then discuss your vehicle repairs and if there are any injuries...if they have a good ins. policy that is...maybe they don't have insurance either.

Yep, in LA appears so, they have VERY strict no pay no play law, that says you cannot collect the first 10k in damages (physcial or injury) WOW! | Quote: | | In Louisiana if you do not have liability coverage on your car at the time of an accident, the “No Pay, No Play” law would apply, whether you are a LA state resident or from another state that requires you to be insured. Under the Louisiana no pay/no play law an individual who does not have liability insurance cannot collect for the first $10,000 of damages in an accident, no matter who is at fault. The driver should not be able to claim for the first $10,000 in out-of-pocket medical expenses and the first $10,000 in property damage. |
