Re: rear ended w/ no insurance

The answer to your question is no. You are not liable/negligent merely by the fact of not carrying automobile insurance. You still have a claim for property damages and/or personal injury from the at-fault driver and his/her insurance company. What you will not have is medical & wage loss benefits available to you under a no-fault policy (which would have been your insurance).
