Got Rear-Ended but Just Realized My License is Expired – What Should I Do?

Good afternoon…
I need some advice. I’m in California and got rear-ended yesterday. It wasn’t too bad, and the person who hit me admitted it was their fault. At first, they wanted to just pay for the damage (around $1,000) out of pocket, but now they’ve decided to go through insurance instead. :neutral_face:
Here’s the problem: When they asked for my license info this morning, I realized my license expired last month. I haven’t replied yet because I’m not sure what to do. Will their insurance company report my expired license? And could I get in trouble for it? I know I need to renew it ASAP, but I’m worried about how this might affect the claim. Best wishes… :grin:

Check for injuries on both you and the other participants. Make an emergency services call if needed.
:wink: To avoid more accidents, try to get your cars to a safe place off the road.

Hallo pal u should.Obtain the name, insurance information, and contact details of the other motorist.
Take pictures of the road conditions, any injuries, and the damage to both vehicles to help document the accident site. :smile:

Dig this comrade, :smile: Call the police to report the accident and get a police report. This will be crucial for any insurance claims or legal proceedings.

Be honest and provide all the necessary information, including the police report and any photos. :expressionless:

Even while it might make things more difficult, an expired license does not always exclude you from making a claim or getting paid for losses. :saluting_face:
The conclusion can vary based on the accident’s particulars and the regulations in your area.
