Can I sue an uninsured driver in Massachusetts
Hey, everyone. Anthony Riccio here, founding attorney of Riccio Law, a personal injury and criminal defense law firm with offices in Quincy and Attleboro, Massachusetts. The answer to that question, whether or not you can sue an uninsured driver after a motor vehicle accident in Massachusetts, is yes. You can sue someone after a car accident in Massachusetts, even if the driver of the other car who’s at fault does not have car insurance. With that being said, suing that individual is often not the best route to take. The reason being is, even if you’re successfully suing them and a court awards you monetary damages, the question becomes or the issue becomes whether or not that individual has the ability to pay the money that was awarded to you. Oftentimes, that person simply cannot pay. And in that situation, you likely will not see the money, even if you were successful with a lawsuit in court.
