What if you are in an accident and have no insurance?

Your friend is currently required to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance for $10,000 by statute. You did not indicate the accident date but there was a small period of time where PIP was not required. The PIP would pay for your friend to obtain medical care. As for liability, bodily injury (BI) coverage would protect your friend if the other driver sues her. Your friend can certainly mount a defense as to who caused the accident and could counter sue for her damages as well.
