16028.
(a) Upon the demand of a peace officer pursuant to subdivision (b) or upon the demand of a peace officer or traffic collision investigator pursuant to subdivision (c), every person who drives a motor vehicle upon a highway shall provide evidence of financial responsibility for the vehicle that is in effect at the time the demand is made. The evidence of financial responsibility may be provided using a mobile electronic device. However, a peace officer shall not stop a vehicle for the sole purpose of determining whether the vehicle is being driven in violation of this subdivision.
If another driver violated CVC 16028 (a) — driving without proof of insurance and caused your accident, you may have a strong personal injury claim. Uninsured drivers can still be held financially liable for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
