How to Fight a Driving While Uninsured Ticket
Driving without valid insurance can have extremely serious consequences. And if you’re involved in an accident while driving uninsured, you could face criminal charges. You might also have your license suspended, be held responsible for paying damages out of pocket, and be subject to hefty fines—as well as higher insurance premiums.
The best way to fight a charge of driving without insurance is to contact We Defend. Our experienced team will leverage more than 20 years of experience to give you the best possible defense in the courtroom.
Frequently Asked Questions about Driving While Uninsured Tickets
Can I Be Charged for Driving Uninsured If It’s Not My Vehicle?
Unfortunately, yes. If you’re driving a vehicle, it’s your responsibility to make sure that it’s insured. However, We Defend may be able to help by making a case that you could not have reasonably known the vehicle you were driving did not have valid insurance. Contact us to discuss your case in more detail and evaluate your options.
How Are the Fines for Driving Without Insurance Determined?
Fines for driving without insurance are determined by the circumstances under which you were charged and whether or not it’s your first offense. The maximum fine for first-time offenders is $10,000 (although many first-time offenders are charged around $2,875). However, repeat offenders can be charged up to $20,000.
Is Fighting a Driving Uninsured Charge Expensive?
The costs of hiring We Defend to fight a charge of driving uninsured pale in comparison to the financial risks you face by driving without insurance. Remember that the average claim for bodily injuries is more than $15,000—add that to the towing and impound fees, plus the fine for driving without insurance, and you’re looking at a lot of money.
Hiring We Defend gives you the best chance at reducing or avoiding these costs. This makes us by far the most cost-effective option for most drivers charged with driving uninsured.
Who Decides Whether My License Will Be Suspended for Driving Uninsured?
Whether or not your license will be suspended for driving without valid insurance is the prerogative of the judge who oversees your court case. This is another reason why it’s vital to have strong representation from the experts at We Defend during your trial—we can argue effectively that your license should not be suspended.
Is Driving Without Proof of Insurance Different from Driving Uninsured?
Some officers may give you additional opportunities to prove you have insurance before issuing a ticket if you don’t have your insurance paperwork on you when you’re pulled over—but counting on this is never a good idea.
You are legally required to carry proof of insurance whenever you drive, and not doing so can result in significant fines the same way driving without valid insurance can. In these situations, it’s best to let We Defend step in and fight on your behalf.
