If you gave the friend permission to be driving your motor vehicle then you are responsible for the damage. If you can prove your friend's negligence, then it might be worth talking to an attorney. If you were in a simple accident, your friend had permission, and it's not his fault, then the other driver is responsible, provided they are legit drivers, have licenses, and are insured. Let's say your buddy was rear-ended. The other guy is the at-fault driver. His liability coverage should pay for the cost of repairs to your vehicle. But if he's carrying only the minimum liability insurance, it may not be enough to cover the entire cost. That's where your un-/under-insured policy kicks in.

What would happen if a friend lets you borrow his insured car and you get into an accident but you do not own a car or have insurance?
I believe most insurances will cover the damages if the car is insured and you have a license, but if you do not have a license the insurance will not cover anything you are both liable. Your friend is liable for loning you the car without a license and you are liable for driving it.
If a minor gets in an accident driving a friend's car who is responsible for the damages?
The driver, as he's the one who caused the damage. The driver of a vehicle, whether a juvenile or the owner of the vehicle, damages city property with a vehicle, that driver is responsible for damages. Should it go to small claims court, you may have to sue both the parent and the juvenile, as some states vary with regard to parental responsibility.
