How can you sue the driver who was at fault in a vehicle accident for causing you to miss your New Year's Eve party?

Missing a party regardless of what the party was for, is not grounds for a lawsuit. You can of course recover the cost for damage to your vehicle and medical expenses (if any) if the other driver is proved to be the one responsible for the accident. Unlikely. For damages to be compensatable, they basically have to be of the type that are measurable. I suspect that missing a good time won't qualify in the eyes of the Court! Essentially, the at fault party has to restore you to where you were before the accident. You hadn't mssed the party at that point. You can say, that the event, like all others, may change the course of your life, doesn't make them responsibile for what happens in your life. If while missing the party you purchased the ticket that won the zillion dollar lotto, you wouldn't owe them either.

What Nascar driver was killed after winning and was on the way home with his girlfrend years ago?
You could be talking about Rob Moroso. Tammy Williams died in the accident as well, but she was not his girlfriend. She was the driver of the other vehicle involved in the accident.
How do you recover losses from an accident when your insurance ran out and the other driver will not accept responsibility?
In this case, the driver is not responsible, it is the owner of the vehicle that is responsible. It is his car and his responsibility to make sure that all drivers of his vehicle are insured when they drive the vehicle. You need to call one of those lawyers who advertise on TV. The owner of the car is responsible and if the driver was excluded from the policy but was allowed to drive the car anyway, you can have his house, car, and all his wages for the next 100 years, and probably the same from the driver. But when you win the case, they'll declare bankruptcy and you'll probably never collect.

What if an owner of a vehicle has no insurance but the driver does and gets into an accident?
It depends on your policy and the state that you live in. In most states the insurance follows the vehicle and not the driver. Therefore, the driver having coverage on another vehicle will most likely do you no good. The only coverage that may transfer is medical payments which may pay if the driver had injuries but even that will not pay for anyone elses injuries. Medical payments will pay if you get hit by another car will walking across the street. Remember that state laws will determine some of these facts. For full disclosure, I own and operate a small Independent Insurance Agency in Gordon, Georgia and have for 22 years. I also worked as an agent for a direct writer for 3 years before that.

What if an excluded driver has an accident in your car in Michigan?
If an excluded driver is driving any vehicles on said policy there is effectively no coverage. This means no liability/property damage/collision. The driver is At Fault in the accident regardless of circumstances. They are responsible for 100% of damages, medical and property even in a No-Fault state. They will also be required to file an FR 22 for a period of years. It will cost a minimum of thousands of dollars for the excluded driver and the insured. Example: Excluded driver is involved in a collision with a teenage driver who runs a stop sign. The teenage driver needs to be hospitalized and cared for due to intensive medical problems. The parents of the driver sue the excluded driver and the owner of the vehicle for all medical costs. $300,000. -Insurance Agent P&C
What happens to you when an uninsured unlicensed driver driving your car has an accident?
Is your car insured? Did the driver have your permission? more that likely there will be coverage, (subject to any policy exclusion), but you will obviously have rate increases that will take many years to clear up. If your vehicle is also not insured, you will more than likely be held (assuming driver had permission), equally responsible for all costs, not to mention fines, loss of plates etc.
