Hello.

Ironically, this is not an uncommon situation and many accidents happen during even the short period of time that the drivers allow their insurance to lapse.

If the other driver was insured, you are entitled to be compensated for the damage to your vehicle and your medical expenses. Under proposition 213, however, you are not entitled to be compensated for any pain and suffering because you were not insured. If the other driver who hit you was also not insured, then there might be no coverage for your losses at all.

Thanks,

If you have no insurance, you are subject to prop. 213, and can only recover special damages.

I agree with Mr. Itkin and Mr. Fernandez. I disagree with Mr. Moheban to the extent he says you can recover for pain and suffering. As the others have explained, Proposition 213 says uninsured drivers may not recover such damages.
