I am assuming you are referring to bodily injuries. There are, indeed, other remedies available. 1. If you have PIP or MedPay on your own auto policy, it will pay for reasonable and necessary medical expenses up to policy limits. ONE CAVEAT: This is state dependent, and mandatory in some states. In no more than two or three states, PIP (Personal Injury Protection) is mandatory and the coverage from the owner of the vehicle is ALWAYS primary. New York is an example. 2. Private or group health insurance will cover any injuries sustained. They will pay without question because it is a contractual coverage and the policy says they will cover specified expenses. They WILL, however, then 'subrogate' (recover paid amounts from) any available carrier that insures the patient for that loss. The sequence would be as follows: They would turn to the patient's carrier first (for PIP or Medpay) because that is a contractual coverage and they MUST reimburse if the coverage is in place. (They may do some negotiations of their own, but it will not affect the policyholder.) If that is not in place, or is not enough coverage to pay all the bills, they will go directly to the unisured motorist in whose vehicle you were riding.

Does uninsured motorist insurance pay if you hit a deer?
Uninsured motorist covers you in the case you are in an accident with another driver that does not have insurance. Comprehensive coverage is what will pay when you hit a deer.
If you have full coverage insurance and a person who is not on the policy gets into an accident what happens?
It depends on the policy provider but my Allstate Insurance covers licensed drivers who drive my vehicle with my permission. Mine also covers me when I drive an uninsured car.
When you do not have any insurance AND the person who took your car without permission has no insurance and causes an accident who is responsible of the other parties damages?
You hope that the other driver responsible in the crash has insurance that covers uninsured drivers and then you sue your friend!

Coverage To Drive?
If you are driving a car in the state of Illinois, then you need to carry insurance on the vehicle. Uninsured motorists can get insurance at affordable rates if they know where to look. There is a minimum amount of coverage that the driver needs to have on their insurance. This amount is not high so that drivers can get insurance coverage at an affordable rate. However, if a driver wants to take a risk and let someone else drive their car, they need to carry uninsured motorist insurance on their policy. The minimum amount for this coverage is $20,000. This covers the driver of the car if they were in an accident and were not covered under an insurance policy. In the event of a car accident and the driver of your car or the other car were not covered under their own insurance policy, the uninsured motorist coverage would protect not only yourself but the other drivers in the accident. The coverage will pay for any medical necessities that are incurred during the accident and any wages that are lost. The coverage will only pay up to the amount that you have on your insurance policy. Anything over this amount will be the responsibility of the driver. If the accident was the fault of the other driver, then their insurance will cover up to the amount listed on their policy and then your insurance will cover the remaining amount. An uninsured policy is different than an underinsured policy. An underinsured driver has insurance, but they may not have enough coverage to pay for the expenses if the driver were in an accident. An uninsured motorist has no insurance at all. The only way that an uninsured motorist can usually drive a vehicle is if there is a family member who has taken out the uninsured motorist coverage on their insurance. An uninsured policy is not expensive to get, but it would be best for the driver to obtain their own policy as soon as possible.
