Re: Driving without insurance

Yes. In California, uninsured drivers cannot recover damages for pain and suffering, but they are entitled to recover for any other kind of loss, including damage to their vehicles, medical expenses and lost wages.

There is no good reason why a driver in your brother's position should be able to escape all liability just because the person he rear-ended happened not to have insurance.
