What is the consequence of being at fault in an accident with no insurance?

Several things can happen: If there are injuries or deaths, possible jail time. If incident is rather minor, one year driver license suspension. * The traffic charges will depend upon the accident itself. If the state has mandatory insurance coverage the person's driving privileges may be at risk. The "At Fault" driver is still responsible for all damages and can (probably will be sued) by the other party and his or her insurance provider.
