They would have to file a claim with the insurance company for any damages or injury. However, they cannot ask for money to reimburse them for punitive damages--that would be a civil case.
If the driver of the car you were in was at fault and had no insurance you are out of luck. your only recourse if to sue the person who you were driving with to recover damages. If your driver was not at fault but had no insurance the other parties insurance would have to cover your damages. The lesson is not to ride with people who do not carry auto insurance, ever.
the insurance company!
If his insurance wrecks his car, then I am sure that he can. Was his insurance driving drunk or sober?
If it is your car, get insurence. If it is not, sue them.
no sir
Sure you can sue anyone for anything. The question is will you win. Let's get this straight. You hit a parked car, and you want to sue the owner of that car's insurance company. And your reason is that the car was not registered. Well if the car was not registered then how did they have insurance? What does the fact as to weather the car was registered or not have to do with the accident? You hit a parked car and that means you were at fault. But you go right ahead and sue. See where that gets you.
The driver or owner will be responsible for the passenger's injuries. The passenger's PIP or medical insurance MAY pay the expenses if the responsible party is not insured, but will sue to recover the expenses.
if they are dumb enough to tell you their real name sue sue sue sue sue sue
Your insurance may go up it may not, also sue for allot of money!!!
you can't sue him if he had your permission to drive car. you need to collect from your insurance company. if you don't have insurance - you're outta luck.

no. you can not collect on something that you are not paying for. However... you can sue the driver, if this is what you want to do, call you insurance company and let them handle it. If you do not have an insurance company, call an attorney.
