If your car was hit by an uninsured driver and you only have catastrophic insurance so the insurance company will not help what can you do?
Depending on how much it will cost to repair your vehicle, take them to small claims court, but make sure you will be able to collect from them, since you may end up paying more out for fees than you would actually get from them. Go to your insurance as a last option. Also think about raising your coverage levels, incase it were to happen again.

My parked car has full coverage and was hit by an uninsured driver?
tell your insurance company and the police and your insurance company will pay everything except the deductible. If you have full coverage than your insurance is required to make good on the damage. It is up to your insurance company to try and get their money back from the uninsured driver of the other vehicle.
Can an insurance company get money from an uninsured driver who was at fault?
They can pursue him civilly, and the not at fault driver can also sue for damages.
What happens when a uninsured driver hit someone?
What happens when an insured driver hits someone depends on the state you live in. In a no-fault state you present your claim to your insurance company for payment. In a tort state, you would sue the driver for compensation. If you have uninsured driver coverage, then your insurance company should cover you and/or your vehicle, up to a certain amount. You should check with your insurance company to be sure.
What do you do if you are uninsured and rear ended by a company vehicle and the driver does not want to contact their insurance company?
Call the police and/or the company that owns the vehicle
How do you find out if an insurance company carries uninsured motorist insurance for company commercial drivers if that company is procrastinating about telling the driver the truth?
Well, you say 'procrastinating,' but your question is not really answerable, and, coming from an employee, impertinent. Regardless of whether the company driver is actually driving for an insurance company--doubtful--or not, they have 'comprehensive' commercial insurance; 'uninsured motorist' insurance is just a way to rephrase 'comprehensive' insurance for those who might not grasp the term.
What does excluded driver mean on policy?
One of my family members was hit by a driver who carried insurance but was an "excluded" driver on the policy of the car she was driving. After talking to the other person's insurance company, an excluded driver is essentially equivalent to an uninsured motorist. That means that his/her insurance company will not represent them and that, if they are liable for the accident, your insurance company can go after them personally for the damages.
If an uninsured driver of an insured driver's car has an accident caused by another driver what will happen to the uninsured drivers license?
If the uninsured driver had the permission of the insured driver to operate the vehicle then NOTHING will happen to the uninsured driver. In fact, in this case he or she is not an uninsured driver at all. The insurance follows the vehicle first, the driver second.
Can a fully insured driver drive an uninsured car?
It will depend on the driver's car insurance company. In case that driver gets into a car accident, it would be presumed his car insurance will step in to settle the damages.
If you hit an unlicensed driver will your insurance pay for damages to his car?
This will depend on the type of insurance coverage. The insurance company can decide to go to court and argue that since the driver was uninsured, then they should not be liable for damages.
What does the finance company do when a car is totaled and there is no collision insurance?
If the driver was uninsured or only had liability insurance, they would be liable to still pay the finance company back or face a lawsuit.
What happens if there is an autombile accident with a motorcycle and you have insurance but the other motorcyclist does not have a license or registration?
Same as if it where 2 cars. The uninsured driver will be sited and then your insurance will pay for the repairs and try and collect from the uninsured driver, if you have uninsured or underinsured coverage, if not you can take the uninsured driver to small claims court.
An uninsured driver is hit by an insured driver who pays for the uninsured car?
If the insured driver is at fault then most likely his/hers insurance will be responsible. There is a fine line when it comes to a situation like this especially if you live in a no fault state. The only true way to know the answer is to talk to an insurance company/agent.
