Even the minimum insurance in the cheapest state is probably more than
you could squeeze out of the average American in court.
You can bankrupt them but then you are done. In homestead states you
can't even go after homes or pensions.

What is wrong is if someone with lots of assets causes an accident
here in
California he could lose a couple million in court. While if the same
thing happened to him and the causer had no or minimum insurance,
that is
all you could get.

That is what I said. Insurance is to protect rich people. Someone with
limited resources won't attract the attention of a tort lawyer. There
is no money in suing an illegal alien with 6 kids and a 20 year old
Chevy

So, make it so you can only sue for the amount of insurance you,
yourself,
carry. Who **** off those tort ambulance chasers.


I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure that's how it works here in CT.

They call it "no fault".. If you let your insurance run out, they notify
Motor Vehicle, and I believe your local cops that your insurance is
expired, so your registration is void...

But I bet the victim can sue for pain and suffering and loss of wages, on
top of the insurance.
