Yes you can as long as you have collision coverage and this will be considered an "At Fault" accident.
Selling your car with insurance claim pending, will simply null and void your insurance claim. Because your damaged car can be subjected to inspection by the Assessor of the Insurance Co. for assessment of the insurance claim any time.
yes
If your Motor Car policy covers First Party and your car gets damaged by a collision, the insurance co. will pay for that. Whereas when there is Third Party coverage in your policy and a third party's car gets damaged by your car, the third party's claim will be borne by the insurance co.
No, they will file a claim with their insurance company and their company will talk to your company. Assuming you swapped insurance details.
It is reasonable to expect that if you know who stole your car, and the police are involved, your car is probably going to be returned to you, so it is premature to file an insurance claim. If the car is returned in a damaged condition, you may then have a claim.
my car was damaged by debris on the motorway can i make a claim?
In most States, this will be a homeowner claim. You may be able to imagine that this is a similar type of peril as if an aircraft had crashed into your home... which would also be covered under your home policy - assuming your homeowner's policy form does not exclude that sort of coverage. Since its your home that is now damaged, this is where Id start my claim. Your car is not damaged therefore it needs no claim for damages, although your car insurance's property damage may cover this as well. Id call and check with your insurance companies on this.
You can claim whatever you want. You'll get what the insurance adjuster gets you to agree to. You'll get nothing if the driver was indigent.
This would depend on your insurance coverage or weather you are willing to sue him.
it depends upon how the car was damaged
Call the insurance company.
You would not have to report this to the police as long as there was no property damage. However, if you have collision insurance and want to collect on the policy you must report it to your insurance company.
