If an uninsured driver has been involved in a car accident, they will not only be forced to pay any damages out-of-pocket, but they will be subjected to additional fines and penalties, because California requires every driver to have car insurance due to the amount of damages car accidents can produce.
Depending on the severity of the accident, uninsured drivers may even have their vehicles impounded and their driver’s license suspended for up to four years. Should you become involved with an uninsured driver, it is important to seek legal representation to ensure that the car accident in question is settled properly and accordingly.
