What do you if are uninsured and rear ended by a company vehicle the driver does not want to contact their insurance company?

If you are uninsured and are rear-ended by a company vehicle, and the driver does not want to contact their insurance company, you should take the following steps:

1. Call the police. This is important to create an official record of the accident. The police will also be able to help you exchange information with the other driver and get the names of any witnesses.

2. Get the other driver's information. This includes their name, address, phone number, and insurance information (if they have it).

3. Take photos of the damage to both vehicles. Be sure to get photos of all the damage, including any damage that may not be immediately visible (like damage to the frame of your car).

4. Get estimates for repairs to your car. This will help you to quantify the damages you have sustained.

5. Send a demand letter to the company. The demand letter should state the amount of damages you are seeking and should give the company a deadline to pay. Be sure to keep a copy of the demand letter for your records.

6. If the company does not pay, you may need to file a lawsuit. This can be a time-consuming and expensive process, so you should weigh your options carefully before making this decision.

In addition to the above steps, you should also consider the following tips:

* Be polite and respectful when dealing with the other driver and the company. This will make it more likely that they will cooperate with you.

* Be persistent in your efforts to get the damages you are entitled to. Don't give up even if the company tries to delay or deny your claim.

* If you have any questions or need help, you should contact an attorney. An attorney can help you understand your rights and options and can represent you if you need to file a lawsuit.
