I was hit by an uninsured, unlicensed, illegal immigrant...?
Find answers to your legal question.





I was hit by an uninsured, unlicensed, illegal immigrant...?

The damage was minor and I never filed a report or called the cops. Now he is suing me along with his passengers. My insurance company (Geico) says "not to worry" about this. Can I trust them?

Trust them in what way? They may take steps to keep it out of court, but then again, depending on the jurisdiction and facts of loss, they may let it go to court....especially if it is as you say, uninsured, unlicensed, illegal. Some cases you want in front of a judge/jury. That could be interesting....

But someone else mentioned turning them in? That's funny, never thought of that...go for it. See what happens. Problem may be solved just that simply.

Report him to immigration and when they haul him away, you won't have to worry about being sued anymore


And let me add, what kind of idiot are you to just walk away from an unlicensed, uninsured, illegal immigrant hitting you? One call to police to report his accident he'd be in jail and on his way for deportation already, along with the 20 passengers in his corolla.

Yes trust them


Cher
never trust an illegal!!
always have cops
at accident scene


YA is a sham
There are so many things wrong in that picture. If there is a contributory negligence clause in your state laws, the illegals are to blame because had they not been illegally driving, the accident would never have occurred.

Ask them to go on the Judge Judy show with you.

their status is irrelevant. iif it was your fault then yes worry. if not then dont. either way that;s what insurance is for. how do you know they are illegal?

if hes illegal he CAN'T sue you

he is confused about what suing means

he thinks he can become a citisin

but don't worry they can't do sh!t

and if not report was filled then technically he has no proof of an accident


lei
Not sure how an illegal immigrant can get away with suing you for an accident that was his fault.

Yes, Geico is a good company and they'll deal with your situation accordingly.

I would think so. Why would Geico need to lie to you? They are working for YOU... not the sleaz-ball that hit and is now suing you.


shelcom
Yes. Your insurance company must defend you in this kind of suit. If he hit you and he has no insurance this is a nuisance case...he's hoping for a settlement. Geico won't give him one.

Trust them and Sue the hell back out of him, he's illegal, the worst that will happen is he will get his illegal *** kicked back where he came.


yourpastlifelover
I woouldn't worry about it, but you can always call a lawyer if you are paranoid. I mean, you weren't at fault, right? Suing you is just plain stupid. This person is BEGGING to be deported or something.

gieco will take care of you... especially if he was un-insured.. AND hes illegal.. lol.. you might be screwed ther..

we have to be fair to the people without a right to be here ya know

When Geico told us not to worry ,,they meant it, of course our rates doubled for 3 years, but we did'nt get sued

I wouldn't trust them, but shame on you for letting them go.

Even if they give you money to keep quiet you should still call it in. That is if they are uninsured, unlicensed, and illegal immigrants. They will get what they deserve.

Next time if there is one, call the cops as soon as you know they guy doesn't have insurance. It's your right to make sure that your car gets fixed, and its your responsibility.

an uninsured, unlicensed, illegal immigrant can and do drive our roadways and can kill, maim and destroy our lives and there is nothing we can do about it....BUT he can sue you and he can win and win big. he will sue your insurance company first and then go after whatever you have and there is nothing you can do about it.

i have a friend who works in insurance and this is the new scam, illegals purposely get hurt on the job or in car 'accidents' then get a lawyer and sue for millions and win. a prime example is a local resort had a lot of illegals working for them through local contractors the illegals would sprain, break ankles, wrists etc. and hire an attorney...the resort just settled a case for 2.6 million dollars to an illegal who dropped a load of bricks on his foot and broke two toes...

yes you should countersue see a lawyer though ok and hope those f____heads get deported

Just wait awhile and he will become a full fledge American since there are so many of them. Then maybe he will know how to behave in this country.

GEICO is really good, and I would feel confident in their assesment. Just ask them to keep you abreast of the situation and what the legal recourses are, as well as WHY they think that.

Geico will sent the cavemen after him and he'll be singing a different tune.


icecubez189
get a lawyer, or consult with your laywer just in case.

If he is illegal immigrant, he doesn't have the right way to the US laws. If he comes to the court, they will hand-cuff him and send him back to where he belongs. The other people in the car at the time will not have a case if the paintiff isn't present.
I am not a law officer, just my 2 cents thought.


sweetsh0rtie99
I don't think he can sue if he wasn't even a liscensed driver.


edgar(back for now) lol.
well depends, if you were hit then he doesnt have much of a case. but if your at fault it doesnt matter hes illegal because immigration has nothing to do with the case. the court will look at the accident as an isolated incident and make a judgement on the facts of the accident.

Yes, if he is all the things you say, the case will be tossed out, as it wouldn't have occurred had he not been driving illegally.

If your insurance co. said not to worry,I would say that the "undocumented immigrants" are full of refried beans.The insurance agent would know if they have any kind of valid lawsuit,don't sweat it let Geico handle it.

if you did not call in a report and no cops came and they are illegal there is no way for him to sue you .. thats just dumb and if you gave him enough info for him to even try to report you ... well then you are just dumb .. you should have called the cops first of all second of all . ya dont worry .. he cant get away with suing you with his status and his situation


Ben
That happened to me as well but I will never be the same in my option it is the state is a fault for putting you in that it was not your fault like mine but my life has changed for the worse if they state needs to do there jobs obey the fed (enforce) we would not have these issues get them out we can not help them right now. don't go down wiennin......
