I borrowed a vehicle from a friend and got into an accident. I received a citation for failure to yield to traffic and paid it. I later found out this vehicle didn't have insurance and my friend was borrowing the vehicle from one of his bosses. The tag was expired, not registered to the vehicle and belonged to another person who reported it stolen after learning about accident to avoid any responsibilityin the matter. I wouldn't have even borrowed the vehicle if I knew any of this. I didn't receive any forms/requests/info regarding request to resolve claim until after my license had been suspended. Now I'm told I need to get a SR-22 & HSMV 74014 or HSMV 74036 to reinstate my license. I only make a $100/week. If I can't drive, I can't even make that. Vehicle damages amount to $4000 and the tort claim is $14000+. What are my options? If I'm stuck covering the cost of damage do I pay the $4000 or $14000+? Could I reach out to other driver to request signature for release of financial responsibility or would this be useless considering the tort claim?
