Liability insurance for drivers is a requirement in the state of Mississippi. The other party involved in this accident does not have insurance. I do have liability insurance. The accident was not reported although law enforcement was called and an accident report was completed. The other party now wants me to fix her automobile. What are my rights in this situation?
Never admit to liability in an accident. Exchange your details and let the insurance companies deal with it.
It does not matter to an insurance company that the other driver had a suspended license. Liability is determined by the factors of the accident and the evidence put forth. The fact that the other driver had no license does not affect liability or the handling of the claim.
You are subject to liability insurance requirements whether or not an accident occurs. An accident has nothing to do with liability requirements. You are required to have liability insurance of at least the minimum required by your state before getting into a vehicle and driving it. Driving is what triggers the law.
When a car is borrowed (with permission) the insurance of the car owner is primary and the insurance of the driver is secondary. Here, the car owner has no coverage to pay for the damage to his/her own car, so the driver's liability insurance would cover the cost of the car. That is assuming the driver has liability insurance, if the driver doesn't have liability insurance, the car owner is stuck (unless he sues the driver).
Only if the driver was responsible and only for his liability
Auto liability insurance is a type of car insurance that covers the policyholder in the event that they cause an accident and are found to be at fault. It provides financial protection for the policyholder in the event that they are sued by the other driver(s) involved in the accident. Liability coverage typically includes two types of coverage: bodily injury liability and property damage liability. Bodily injury liability covers the medical expenses of the other driver(s) and any passengers in their vehicle. In contrast, property damage liability covers the cost of repairing or replacing any property that was damaged in the accident, such as another vehicle or a fence.

If the question you are asking is: does your car insurance cover passenger injury when the driver of a car caused an accident. In the UK - the answer to this is "yes". The driver of a car owes a duty to his passengers to keep them safe and car insurance covers legal liability for passenger injury even when only one vehicle is involved in an accident. See the related link entitled "accident car insurance" to see all the types of vehicle insurance you can have in the UK and what type of liabilities each type of insurance will meet.
Liability insurance financially protects a driver who is not a fault in an accident by paying for damages. It will protect the driver who is at fault from being sued for damages.
Maybe. Did the unlicensed driver have your permission to be operating the car when the accident occurred? If so, maybe not.
Some do. I work for an insurance company and many will take ownership of the accident.
