I had an unlicensed driver decide to turn into me on the way to work today. No injuries surprisingly. 02163426b86f7e55a7a1581b015a468d.jpg

Oh crap I’m really sorry to see this. Thankfully you were not hurt and hopefully it will be a painless process.

That looks pretty damaging. What a bummer. Let us know what they say about the repairs.

Uninsured as well?



The owner is insured (cheap company). But the driver had no license. So I’m sure they won’t want to pay.

Mexican girl was 20 YOA, just not licensed. Wasn’t suspended under the name given. She got arrested and released on a personal recognizance bond (no cash).

You may be surprised. i was in the same situation a year ago (unlicensed, but car was insured, someone elses car). I had no issues getting it fixed. keep in mind to get the process going faster you may have to have yours pay for it, then your company will go after theirs (that is what mine did).

on a side note be extremely cautious about what you post in forums and social media as insurance companies have "trolls".

I agree with baum, have your carrier subrogate against the other car's carrier. That way you will actually save time and it won't go against your Loss Run stats with your carrier.

Your carrier's claim adjuster will help you to ensure it gets correctly repaired.

Looking at the other car I would say you won the fight. :)
