The fact that the other driver was unlicensed should not have any effect on your liability. You will still be liable for the accident. Your insurance carrier should pay for the property damage to the other vehicle. Property damage is usually resolved early in the case. If the other driver was injured, the personal injury claim will await the conclusion of medical treatment and the receipt of medical bills, medical reports, and any wage loss by your insurance carrier from the other driver.
