I was hit on the rear bumper by a woman who was driving without a drivenr's license. Infact she never had a driver's license. The officer told me it was the 3rd time she is caught w/o DL and ticketed. She was excluded from the auto insurance policy of the car she was driving. In the court she claims it was my fault. Does her claim stands good in the court if she never had a DL and excluded from the auto insurance policy of the car she was driving?

I was driving my roommate's car and he own the car and insurance. since our bumper had only minor blemishes we didn't care to claim insurance or legal action, However the lady filed a sue against me. She claims i quickly changed the lane and she couldn't stop and hit. I don't think its true but she sued. My roommate's insurance company rejected her claim for whatever reason hence she filed lawsuit. Could I use having no DL and exclusion from insurance as my defense?

Don't worry about what she says. The accident was investigated. Just let your insurance company handle it.

Probably not. I suggest you hire an attorney to help you collect a judgment from her under a basic Negligence theory. Also, inform your insurance company that she has no license, etc. Your insurance company can handle it.

If she crashed into your rear bumper, it is assumed to be her fault. And it doesn't help her case at all that she doesn't have a DL.
