Re: Unlicensed drivers

It depends on the policies. If the at fault driver has insurance, then that insurance pays for the damages. If the at fault driver doesn't have insurance, but the not at fault driver has uninsured motorist coverage, then it will pay for the damages of the not at fault driver.

I'm oversimplifying this, and I'd need more information before I can discuss this intelligently. Feel free to call my office if you would like to speak about this in detail.
