I was in an auto accident, but not at fault. The other driver didn't have insurance. What can I do?

You have a few different options, depending on the type of insurance you carry. Your insurance may cover you, even though you weren’t at fault. Our office would have to review your policy to be sure. Even if the person does not have insurance, you may still be able to pursue a claim against the uninsured driver.
