Perhaps the best answer is "yes and no". If your auto insurance company denied the claim of another party with whom you had a collision, it was either because you did not have liability coverage to protect you from the claim, or because your insurer, after investigating, did not believe that you were At Fault.
If the other party had liability insurance, the insurer can deny your claim for the same reasons.
If this happens, the other party is generally free to sue you, in which event you need to turn the suit papers over to the insurer so that it can defend you (if you had liability insurance). If you did not have liability coverage, you will have to defend the suit yourself. In all events, you have to act promptly, or else you may lose by default.
When you (or the insurance company) respond to the lawsuit, if you have a claim against the other party arising from the same occurrence, it must be asserted as a "compulsory counterclaim". If it is not, you will lose the right to assert it as a separate suit. If the other party had liability insurance that covers your counterclaim, it will defend the counterclaim. The ultimate result will either be that the claim(s) are settled or resolved by the court after a trial on the merits.

What if you drive somebody else's car and you get involved in an accident which is not your fault?
Same rules apply as if it was your own car. Make sure you get the insurance information from the person that was at fault and immediately call that insurance company and file your claim. The owner of the car will probably have to verify that you had permission to drive the car. If the other persons insurance denies the claim then the owner of the car will have to make a claim under their policy.

Yes. That is part of your claim against them. However, if you filed with your insurance company, you gave up your right to pursue them for damages.
