Even though 49 states legally require drivers to purchase liability insurance, not everyone follows the law. Roughly one in seven drivers in the United States don’t have auto insurance, which is about 15% of all drivers. What happens if you’re involved in an auto accident with a driver who has no insurance? Think about it. If one of these drivers hits you and they are at fault, you could be left facing the financial consequences.

Does the uninsured driver face penalties? The answer is Yes. The driver would be personally responsible for damages, even if they can’t pay. Their wages could be garnished if a court judgment is entered against them. The uninsured driver could also legally face fines, a suspended license, impoundment of their vehicle, or even imprisonment.
