What is the name of your state? California
I bought a car and within 10 minutes after the purchase, I was involved in a car accident. I did not previously own a car, therefor at the time of the accident I did not have insurance. However, I did get insurance that same day (hours later). I ended up hitting someone from behind after a motorcyclist wiped out on the highway, forcing a series of cars to slam on their brakes.
The insurance company from the car which was involved is seeking the money for the damages from me. What are my options? Do I have to pay? Why do people have insurance for "uninsured/under insured drivers"? What does "uninsured/under insured" actually mean? If i am forced to pay, what if I don't have the funds to do so?
Any advice, thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced.What is the name of your state?
