I am sure that you know that in the state of California you must possess a valid driver's license in order to operate a motor vehicle. Driving without a licesne can be prosecuted either as a non-criminal offense or as a misdemeanor. But your license status does not affect your car accident case. Driving without a licesne is not an indicia of negligence. Please, though, get a lawyer asap. Good luck. Lesson learned.
