Your question raises a number of issues. It sounds like your husband has a civil judgment against him, and while it may stop him from getting his driver's license, he should not go to jail for that. Now, as for driving without a license, he could be facing jail time depending on prior offenses, but that also sounds unlikely given what you wrote.

Also, he can still bring a claim against the other driver for his injuries even though he was driving without a license. My firm specializes in auto accident cases in Cincinnati. Feel free to call me to discuss your options at 513-737-5180 ext. 22. We offer free consultations.
