I was not in an accident. I met someone recently who has a suspended license and still drives.


    




Drop short and duck
Here in Australia the suspended licensed driver is automatically charged with traffic offences and if the car that that this person is driving is insured by this person then you claim against that insurance cover is claimable under third party. If you are injured then there is the registration third party insurance which is managed by the State the car is registered in and your injuries are covered under that insurance. However you are in America so I don't know who your laws work. Best of luck and hope you are not injured Penny Darling.

then the suspended driver would face citations from the police for driving while suspended but the insurance would still have to pay. You can always sue if you have injuries, that's a separate case from all the suspended/not suspended stuff.

I pray that you are not the one who is injured.

yes it is covered and yes you can sue,so far. do not sign anything from any body: your insurance or his. unless it is presented to you by the police department. seek legal advice. tmm

Talk to your attorney to see what your legal rights are. If the owner was driving the car, you probably have a lawsuit. If the driver wasn't the owner, you most likely can sue the owner of the car. Either way, you have a law suit.

Get legal advice as soon as possible Penny..
If he is suspended I would have doubts about the validity of his insurance..Thats how it works over here..

That's a really sticky situation...Being as the driver has a suspended liscence and is against the law-driving..That person by the time this goes to court could be left holding the bag and fully responsible

My best advice to you, Penny is to get a lawyer, and ask him some questions about this subject, he can tell you your legal rights and help you. good luck

Your still covered, his or her license status has no bearing on the insurance claim for anyone else injured

EVEN if the accident was your fault, the supended drivers insurance has to cover you and your car, because of the suspension
