My son hit a motorcycle and did not have car insurance
Question Details: He went to court and paid all his fines. Now the State has sent him a notice that he has to pay $12,000 for the drivers damages to his bike or they will suspend his liscense. Can they do this? I thought the guys insurance company would try to sue him for the damages.

I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. The state may order that your son make restitution to the man's bike. While th eman may have insurance, he is not required to use his insurance to fix the bike. If your son does not have insurance, then you shoudl see if you have any insurance to refer the matter to.
