What happens to the uninsured motorist???

[jpritchett81]

Update: She didn't attend court....so she has a warrant for her arrest. Today I find out the shady lady that hit me 11/29/05 didn't have insurance Well I have UM on my policy. After I make my claim thru my carrier......will they sue her for what they paid me??

Here is the story below:

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? GA

I most have the crappiest luck ever....I was involved in another car accident on 11/29/05. My bf and I were on the way to work that morning. As we were going thru the intersection this lady ran the light (blatantly late)and hit the driver's front side. She received a ticket for running the red light. She gave the policeman the wrong insurance company...my insurance company found out her real one thru her VIN. Fast forward to now....she never reported the accident to her insurance company....she won't answer the calls or letters from my insurance company or her own. So now her insurance company won't accept liability b/c they haven't spoken with her. Can they not accept liability since she got the ticket?? Since my insurance company is now picking up the tab...will my rates go up?

I plan to go to court on 12/21/05 to make sure she doesn't dispute the ticket b/c she's been very shady so far.

I swear people in Atlanta can't drive.....you won't believe some of the stuff I see on the road daily!!!!!!

Thanks for taking to the time out to read.

your carrier will go after her for reimbursement of the money they pay you for your UM claim.

Thanks. This whole scenario is crazy. I wonder why it took the insurance company so long to advise that she wasn't insured at the time of accident.

The insurance company faxed a letter to my attorney stating this......but the adjuster handling the case is still trying to contact my witness. Why she took so long to contact her is beyond me b/c that was the 1st piece of info I gave the adjuster when I opened my claim.

Sometimes a coverage issue takes time to resolve.
