What to do if I was involved in a car accident and other driver’s insurance turns out to be invalid?
I have the letter from her insurance stating she didn’t have coverage at the time of the accident. What is even worse is that she admited to my insurance agent that she knew she was not covered at the time because she didn’t pay her bill the month before.

You can also file a claim under your own policy's uninsured coverage.

If your insurance does not cover the losses then the only way is to sue her in court to pay for your damage.
