Next time you post a question, read it over before hitting "save" (your question is a little hard to understand).
Once you sign the papers for the car, it is yours. If you get in a car accident and the car gets totaled, the insurance company for the At Fault driver is responsible to pay for the "fair market value" of the car. If you are at fault and you have collision, your insurance company will pay you fair market value less the deductable.
Please be aware, if your loan was for 10,000 but your car is really only worth 8,000 then you will be stuck paying the extra 2,000 (unless you purchased gap insurance from the loan company)
The insurance company will pay the finance company not you.
If the driver was uninsured or only had liability insurance, they would be liable to still pay the finance company back or face a lawsuit.
Nothing. Your insurance company is the agency which would deal with that.

Home equity loan perhaps. No bank is going to finance a totaled car.
Once a car is totaled it is gone. Usually the insurance company takes the car for them to sell and get some extra money and if it is claimed as a totaled vehicle I would not recommend driving it on the street where you can hurt yourself or someone else.
Sure you can, but you're still responsible for paying off the loan to the finance company. If the check will cover the pay-off, give it to the finance company. If it doesn't, give it to them, anyway. It'll reduce your debt by that much.
yes it is called a salvaged title
No, the finance company would simply refund any monies they charged you for forced placed insurance and your primary insurance company would be responsible for footing the bill.
Auto dealers would normally offer you a Guaranteed Asset Protection plan attached to your amount of the auto. This GAP is technically insurance of your asset, the car for payment of the remaining amount owed the finance company after the regular insurance pays their amount.
As long as you have the title that he signed off of it and you signed on and you have insurance on the vehicle it will be covered.
There's a good chance the insurance company will deny the claim of the person with the uninsured vehicle, as that vehicle isn't supposed to be on the roadway to begin with.
