If you're in an accident with a driver you know is uninsured (the driver told you or perhaps the police have given them a ticket for not having insurance), you do have some options.
First off, hopefully you have insurance yourself. If you do, then you probably have uninsured motorist coverage - unless you've signed a form specifically saying that you don't want it.
That uninsured motorist coverage is designed and provided to cover you in case you're injured by someone who does not have insurance.
Even if you don't have insurance yourself and you're injured by a driver who also doesn't have insurance, you can still pursue compensation in very serious cases.
If it's a really bad injury, you might want to talk with an attorney. An attorney can check out your case to make sure there's no possible coverage you might be missing.

And remember to protect yourself in the future by making sure to get both insurance AND the uninsured motorist coverage that comes with it. Never opt out of the latter, because the small added cost will be well worth it if you're ever in an accident with someone who doesn't have any insurance at all.
