I was hit by someone with no drivers license and they werent coverd on the car owners insurance policy, who is responsible?

Both the driver and the owner of the vehicle that caused this accident are responsible for the damage to your automobile. If you were injured you can bring a claim under the uninsured motorist coverage provsion of your auto policy.

The adverse driver should be covered under the owner's policy if the adverse driver was operating the vehicle with the owner's permission. You should file your claim against the owner's insurance company.

Certainly the adverse driver will be liable for your damages, as may be the owner of the vehicle, depending on your state's statutes or case law.

If you had paid for uninsured motorist coverage, the whole claim could have been processed by your company and then your company would pursue any uninsured defendants.
