Re: auto accident
I am not sure what you mean by "disclosure." If you mean to sign a statement confirming you do not have insurance, that does not hurt you and allows the other driver to leave you alone and pursue uninsured motorist (UM) coverage from his or her own insurance company.
After the other driver recovers, however, his or her insurance company may come after you (subrogation) for repayment of what was paid to the other driver. That is when you will pay for not having insurance.
This is information for general discussion purposes. We would have to have an attorney-client relationship for me to give legal advice.
