Can an unlicensed driver sue other party for damages in an auto accident?

In: Rules of the Road

[Edit]

unlicensed driver may sue for damages

Unless you sue in a contributory negligence state (meaning if the plaintiff was in any way at fault they are not entitled to relief), an unlicensed driver may sue the other party for negligence. Depending again on the state you are suing in and if they are a pure comparative negligence (ny) or modified comparative negligence (nj) your relief will possibly be reduced by your amount of fault. If in a modified comparative negligence state, if you are more than 50% at fault you are barred from recovery.
