If an uninsured driver is stopped by law enforcement, for any reason, they may face some serious consequences including:
- Driver’s license suspension.
- Vehicle registration suspension.
- Fees to reinstate their license and registration (if proof of insurance cannot be provided within 20 days of citation).
- Uninsured motorist fees and verification from their insurance company to the state that they have insurance for three years.
Experienced car accident attorneys regularly fight for the rights of injured victims to seek the compensation they are entitled to, including accidents involving uninsured motorists. The stiff penalties associated with driving without insurance are intended to deter uninsured motorists from driving to ensure everyone is protected.
