More info needed!
There are a lot of things you could do! First you need to give some details if you want a coherent answer.

I think what the OP is saying is:
1) Op was driving his car and was hit by someone else.
2) The someone else who hit the op car does not have insurance.
3) The other person does not own the car he/she was driving.
Is that correct? Please post more information about your accident.
I know in some states it is illegal to raise a members rates based on an accident that the member had no fault in.

this happened to my daughter
I live in Washington State. My daughter was hit by an uninsured driver several months ago. This is what happened.
The other driver had no insurance, was not a citizen of the U.S. and it was her fault. She was not the registered owner. We assume she bought a car and didn't transfer the title. The insurance company said the registered owner was liable. They never contacted the driver of the car.
The registered owner was no where to be found. The insurance company basically made my daughter pay the deductable and gave up on everything else.
Basically, according to the insurance company, the registered owner was responsible for damages. Appearently the insurance company was to recover those damages but they gave up on it. We paid the deductable. Incidently, the driver that had no insurance was not cited for no insurance. My daughter forgot to put her insurance card in her car and was cited for no proof of insurance. Something smells fishy. That is when I got involved and had to go to the Chief of police and fix things.
If your not happy with the results of the insurance company, then you should take your own legal action. You may want to also look into a different compay that has excellent feedback. Sometimes cheaper isn't always better.
Some added advise to people selling a car. I would recommend you ask to see a drivers licence and transfer the title together. Send in the part of the title that states that you sold the car and to who.

I have had two accidents and <b>neither was my fault.</b> Does the company have the right to raise my premiums?
The premiums could be going up because of something other than your accidents. The company may have been approved for a general increase. Check with your company about the reason for the increase. If you are not satisfied with the response, you can always check with other companies and see if they can give you a better rate.

Call your insurance and ask.

Call your insurance and ask.
If you had accidents that weren't your fault & your premium was increased, I would call the ins. co. & ask them why the increase. Sometimes due to the increase in the cost of repairing cars, etc. the co. will raise premiums as a group. I would check to be sure you were not singled out & if you were, why since the accidents were not your fault.

check your state insurance commission, in most states your premiums cannot be increased based on you filing an uninsured motorist claim.
