If you rear-end someone who has no insurance and wasn't wearing their seat-belt can they sue you?

Of course, people can sue for anything. If you haven't turn in the claim to your insurance company do it NOW. If the person without a seatbelt is injured there could be some comparative neglience assigned to them for their own injury. Unless your state has a statute barring uninsured drivers from recovery, the fact that they are uninsured is immaterial. If you caused the accident and are at fault, you, therefore, owe the injured innocent for their damages.
