When a uninsured unlicensed illegal alien totals your car, what is your recourse?



    




PEABUS
YOUR BESTBET IS TO WRITE A LETTER TO EVERYONE IN D.C., INCLUDE A COPY OF YOUR LOSS, AND THANK THEM FOR NOT KNOWING WHAT THE WORD "ILLEGAL" MEANS. REMEMBER , LATELY IT SEEMS THAT THE CONSTITUTION APPLIES TO EVERY ONE EXCEPT AMERICANS.

You claim it with your insurance company and watch your rates go sky high.

Just one more way they are costing us money.

Hopefully you had uninsured motorist insurance. If not, you are so outa luck.

Nothing, absolutely nothing. Isn't that a shame?

Since you have no legal recourse I think the best route is kicking his ***.

Good luck. You have uninsured motorist coverage for situations like this. It happened to me and the person that hit me just disappeared. I had full coverage. The insurance company gave me $600.00 because that is what value they assigned to my 68 Camaro. My insurance company also paid my medical expenses. You should contact your insurance company and ask them how they want to handle this. Or you can call the State Insurance Commissioner and ask how it should be handled according to the laws in your state.

police and imagration

Not much. He/she is probably already back over the border and will never be found. That's why you have uninsured motorist coverage. It's also one reason why car insurance is so high in border states like CA, AZ, NM, and TX.

not a thing you would be sol


Thoughtful Mind
Well, the odds are you have insurance, right? If not, then you are breaking the law too. If you have insurance, most policies cover accidents with uninsured motorists. You should always carry a policy with maximum coverage. Most of the immigrants I see (I can only assume some are illegal, others might have temporary permits to be here) walk , or ride their bikes to work, they can't afford a car, so if you got into an accident with that rare illegal alien that can afford a car and pay for gas, etc, then it was just bad luck dude.

Do what i did last time..... I kicked his ***.

Don't vote for liberal politicians that want these scumbags in our country, giving them free drivers licenses, free medical, free housing, free food stamps, free schooling and being free of prosecution for crimes that they commit, all at taxpayer expense.


Bite My Shiny Metal ......
None. You are another victim of the victimless crime of illegal immigration.

This is why they want to give illegals a drivers license. Instead of having to charge them with driving without a license and uninsured, they'll only charge them with being uninsured.

That's why you carry uninsured driver insurance. The police are supposed to impound the car if they are uninsured, if they didnt drive off that is.
Other than that, there isnt anything you can do.


dark_slayer777
nothin you can do. maybe get even with the dumb spick


Tammi D
take the offender as your slave and have them work off their debt to you.


Mr Smarty Pants
police, and they will get on to immigration!

If you go throught the police they will take action, although tbh i cant see you getting any compensation, seeing as i would assume this person has very little money, so unfortunately you will probably be looking at a claim on your own insurance. you can always contact your own Solicitor and ask him what course of action to take!

good luck!

did u have insurance?if so they will probally go after him,and then drop u, after u pay the deductible and they write you a check,good luck.


the bad seed
there is nothing you can do...
this happened to me with a restored 1960 t-bird parked in my drive way...
the police refused to do anything even tho he admitted he was in the country illegally..
i was lucky and had uninsured motorist coverage that helped me..
he was driving a almost new explorer.. but had no insurance..
his car was towed and it turned out he had never made a payment after driving it off the dealers lot..
bank of America loves giving loans to illegals.
for homes as well as cars
he (according to my insurance )left town ..
and remains free to do it all over again

As for the damage and any injuries to yourself or your passengers, your vehicle insurance should cover the costs since the other party was uninsured (it will fall under the "uninsured motorists" aspect of your insurance policy). I don't think that insurance companies can hold this sort of claim against you when deciding whether or not to raise your rates (like they can if you were at fault). However, as far as suing or having the person cited, etc., the only thing I think that can happen is: the police cite the person for the accident and then arrest him or her for being an illegal and he or she then goes before the INS Bureau for a deportation decision. I'm not sure you have any other legal recourse.


68vette
That is why you can obtain "uninsured motorist" insurance for covering these kinda sad situations.


Blue
The best you can do is get a report, sue them in civil court, have them deported?


ProArtWork
The person who owns the car is responsible! To obtain plates you need to show proof you are insured. At least here in NY.


Michael F
shoot him not enough room in jail


rockyfella25
well you can go after his insurance company because he has no insurance, but they usually work many jobs get a lawyer and sue the guy.
