liability insurance goes with the driver, so the drivers insurance would pay for it. If the driver does not have insurance, then the owner of the car's insurance would pay if the vehicle was knowingly lent.
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).
No. Liability insurance is only for injuries and damage suffered by others. So if you are injured and it's the other driver's fault, then their liability coverage will pay your medical bills. But if the other driver doesn't have liability insurance, which is illegal nearly everywhere but still pretty common, then you're in trouble. If you're at fault, then your own liability insurance does nothing. You could sue the responsible driver to get the money. Since people who don't have insurance tend not to have a lot of spare money, you will likely end up relying on your own health insurance. You could also buy Uninsured Motorist insurance for bodily injury as part of your car insurance, which pays for your health costs if you get hit by a driver without insurance. Personal Injury Protection insurance can also be bought as part of your car insurance, which pays the health bills of an insured driver, regardless of who is at fault.
Liability Insurance
Liability insurance is an especially important type of car insurance because it covers damages that are your (the driver) fault.
Yes I think so since you were the driver. The insurance covers the driver and not necessarily the car.
Assuming that the at-fault driver maintained it at the time of the collision, his/her auto liability coverage would be triggered.
Yes, if they accept liability and they will pay up to the limit of property damage coverage.
Time to sue.
That would be liability coverage.
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.
