Just bought a car no insureance in a five car pile up what are my options?

You should go see a WA attorney who specializes in these types of cases. There may be liability to the dealer for letting you leave without insurance, but that does not excuse you for not having it. The fact that you have limited collectability, no insurance, and questionable liability in the case should work to your advantage, but you should have had insurance and you must seek local legal advice.

As I am not licensed in your state, I can only offer you general advice. I would recommend that you contact a defense attorney in your area and discuss your options under Washington state law. The fact that you hit the car in front of you indicates, at least initially, that you were following too closely or were going too fast for the conditions, both arguments which will be made against you by the adverse parties.

It is questionable whether or not the dealer had any duty to confirm that you had liability insurance when you drove the vehicle off of the lot. This is a question which can be best addressed by a Washington state defense attorney. You have unfortunately learned a hard lesson here. No one should own or drive a vehicle without first obtaining automobile liability insurance in a sufficient amount to cover potential liability claims.

Assuming the collision occurred in WA, once the Department of Licensing receives notice that there was collision, DOL will start proceedings to suspend your driver's license. For more information, read DOL's information at http://www.dol.wa.gov/driverslicense/suspenduninsuredaccidents.html .

Depending on your facts, you may have insurance. For example, if you are living with your parents, your parents' insurance policy may cover you. Many insurance companies have automatic coverage for newly acquired cars.

In general, the person (here, you) whose vehicle hits another person's vehicle in the rear would have a very difficult case of showing that the person is not at fault. One exception may be if the other car suddenly changed lanes and moved in front of your car.

You can review your facts with your attorney.
