According to the Insurance Research Council, over 12 percent of US drivers in 2019 were uninsured. That means one out of every eight drivers on the road does not have insurance.
You may be unsure what to do if you are in a car accident and do not have insurance. The process for filing a claim is confusing enough without the risk of facing penalties, out-of-pocket repairs, medical expenses, license revocation, and possibly even jail time. The first step is to contact an experienced auto accident attorney to review your case and advise your legal strategy.

If you are at fault or even partially at fault for an accident, you may face consequences, including: paying to repair and replace any damaged property, license suspension, and wage garnishment. Florida and Georgia vary in methods for collecting compensation from at-fault drivers requiring the at-fault driver to cover expenses like medical bills and other damages.
Even if you did not cause the accident, you may face legal hurdles if you are not insured. According to the Georgia Department of Revenue (DOR), any car that does not have the mandatory minimum liability insurance will have its registration suspended or revoked.
If you do not have car insurance, you may face penalties even if you did not cause the accident.
If you experience injuries in the accident, you may receive compensation if the driver has bodily injury insurance coverage. Many states—Florida included—do not require drivers to carry bodily insurance coverage. PIP insurance is only intended to pay for expenses incurred by the policyholder and will not cover any damages you suffer.

While it is against the law in nearly every state to drive without car insurance, the penalties for doing so vary state by state.
