While your insurance company only cares who pays the insurance policy, the DMV doesn't care who owns the car. The driver who causes the accident will have it show up on his/her driving record (if there was a ticket issued).
The owners insurance will be responsible for coverage in an accident involving permissive use of their vehicle.
If the person driving the vehicle was doing so with the owners permission, IN MOST PLACES, the owner and the owners insurance company are financially responsible and you should be able to sue and get compensation.
Yes, you can file a lawsuit in the proper court and recover your damages if the person is unwilling to pay voluntarily.
If you have insurance on your car, and someone else is driving it, and has an accident your insurance rate will go up but it will cover the damages to the other persons vehicle.
secondary to the policy insuring the vehicle you drove with permission....barring any exclusions on your parents policy ....
You are still responsible for her and her decisions Legally the owner of the vehicle is going to be held liable.
The unauthorized driver will be held responsible, unless there's proof that the vehicle owner did grant that person permission to drive.
What would you file a claim for? The vehicle is not yours and it's a minor accident with no injuries, so you have no loss.
No. If you are driving a vehicle with someone's permission, they assume the risk of letting you drive it and therefore their insurance company also assumes the risk. Under the policy contract, you would be considered an 'insured' because you had permission to use the vehicle. If you were responsible for the damage to your friend's vehicle and the accident was your fault, the only coverage to file would be Collision Coverage. Uninsured motorist is a coverage that would pay for damages to your friend's vehicle if you had been involved in a hit and run accident in which the unknown driver is at fault or if the other driver is known, is at fault and does not have insurance.
If the person driving the car was not officially excluded in writing from the policy and had permission or a reasonable belief that they had permission to use the vehicle then most if not all of the provisions of the policy would apply for the owner of the vehicle.
First of all, if the driver was driving your vehicle with your permission, your auto insurance will cover the accident expenses. Automobile insurance is issued to cover the vehicle. If the vehicle was stolen, that's quite a different matter - your local law enforcement agency will have better information.
No, liability insurance is when there are injuries involved. If you are injured in an accident when someone else is driving your car, your liability insurance would cover your medical costs. Comprehensive and collision insurance on the car you were driving should pay for damages to the vehicle.
