Yes, anyone can sue anyone in the State of Florida. It is up to the deputy to prove that there was a hazardous or negligent condition which caused the injury. Frankly, once the deputy finds out that you do not have insurance, the lawsuit may be dropped but that is not a "sure thing".

You should consult a local attorney to discuss your legal rights and obligations.
