[quote=Anonymous]Let's be clear: OP is the victim of a crime. This was not just driving without documentation of insurance, which can be a minor infraction. This was driving without insurance at all, which is a crime in many states. Plus the other driver knowingly made a material false statement to the officer at the scene, which is a felony. Stop nitpicking OP, folks.

OP, you should go through your insurance. They'll have the option of suing the other driver ("subrogation"). Not worth the hassle of bringing a case when all you could get is the deductible and anything else your insurance doesn't cover. And realistically, based on your description, this other driver probably doesn't have the assets to compensate you (i.e., is "judgment proof").

If you want to hold the other driver accountable, you could contact the local prosecutor's office, ask to press charges against this repeat offender, and offer the evidence you have. That's up to you.
