Re: No insurance lawsuit for being registered owner of vehicle.

You need legal representation. There is probably a bench warrant issued for your failure to appear.

It is never too late to appear and have the bench warrant dismissed. If you don't, and they nab you, you will go to jail and have to post a large bond.

Don't avoid this. Go to the issuing court with legal counsel and sort the matter out.

Also, most insurance policies have a 30 day grace period for the purchase of a new vehicle which covers that vehicle. Check your policy.
