If your mother was killed in an accident by a 16-year-old can you sue her family since she is a minor and was driving their vehicle?

Absolutely. Parents are responsible for the actions of their minor children. Many lawsuits that result in judgments for the defendant are not always collectible. Although wrongful death judgments are more easily enforced, because for the most part, covered by different laws.

If you are a permissive driver (given permission to drive the vehicle by the named insured), your accident would be covered under the owner of the car's policy.

I've seen a clause that specifically excludes damage caused by another vehicle insured by the same person.

It entierly depends, some policies are named driver policies & you will not be covered unless you specifically add the new driver to the policy. Be aware tho that the insurance should always match the registration of the vehicle.
