| | | I Hit an unlicensed uninsured motorist
i currently live in Upland,California my mother was at a red light and noticed her car was a little to much into the pedestrian cross walk so she proceeded to back up a little she says judging by where here car was and how much she baked up she figures she backed up no more then about 1 foot( in other words she was being tail gated). well the lady my mother hit said she was in a hurry and only wanted my mothers license plate and phone number. she didnt care to exhange any license numbers or insurance at this time. come to find out the lady calls my mother and she has no license and no insurance shes possibly even illegally here in the states. the police wasnt called and still no information other then cell number and license plate was taken from my mother. i told my mom that i didnt think she should have to cover this illegal alien with no license and no insurance. what are my mothers options. any help is appreciated thanks. |

You told your mother wrong.
Apologize.

| | | yeah i started looking some stuff up on the internet and i called state farm and the girl there hinted to me that "IF" i wanted to file a claim that was up to me. if my mother has to pay then she has insurance . in my eyes if this lady wasnt breaking laws by illegally operating a automobile my mother would have never hit her to begin with. |

| | | I agree with seniorjudge - your mother hit the other motorist so your mom is the responsible party.

| | | simply put. should she pay ? yes. but arent there laws being broken by the unlicensed person. why should a insurance company have to fork out possibly thousands of dollars on someone who shouldnt have been on the streets in the first place.i could possibly understand if they had a california license but to hit an someone with no license ? why should we be liable. im not purpously trying to come off as a prick or ******* and if we have to pay then so be it. i just wana educate myself with your help so next time i know what to do in this type of situation. thanks again for all the responses |

If the person behind her was a different person and was driving legally, your mother would have to pay.
As was stated, you gave your mother incorrect advice.

| | Yes, but had your mother legally operated her motor vehicle, then she wouldn't be in this position either. 
EDIT: Sorry Mo - didn't see your post before I replied

It is illegal to stop there in the first place. What I was actually addressing was the fact that it's NOT legal to back up when it's not safe to do so (in just about any case).
