What are my rights if I drive without insurance and I am in a collision in Ontario that is not my
fault? Can I sue the at-fault driver and recover my losses from his or her insurer?
If you drive without insurance, the Ontario Insurance Act takes away your right to recover any loss or damage from bodily injury or death from the other person. Th act also takes away your right to recover damage to the vehicle or its contents from the other person. If you are at fault, the other person’s insurance company can sue you to recover the amounts they paid out.“No-fault” does not mean no blame. Your best bet is to drive safely. No one can find fault with that.
