Legal Question in Insurance Law in California

Accident settlement with expired insurance

My auto insurance had expired (my error)prior to my being hit by another driver (his fault) I've collected money for a new car. Am now preparing medical bills for payment by his insurance (Approx. $10,000.). What bearing will my not having insurance have on the settlement? Can I ask for pain and suffering amount? Thank you.

Re: Accident settlement with expired insurance

You will only be able to recover economic damags. In other words, you can recover your medical bills and wage loss. There is no pain and suffering due to Prop 213. You can read about Prop 213 at my blog, www.calpiblog.com
