If the owner gave permission to a licensed driver is the licensed driver still responsible to pay for an accident?
It is my understanding that the car owner's insurance pays for the person who was hit. The driver's insurance is responsible for the car he/she was driving.
How does the insurance company of a licensed driver look at an accident where the driver they covered is at fault in an accident where the driver not at fault has a suspended license will the insuranc?
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.
Does insurance pays claims for under age driver accident?
Ordinarily, an auto insurance policy will require that the driver be licensed as a condition of coverage. Therefore, absent extenuating circumstances, probably not.
What happens if an unlicensed driver is driving insured car and has accident and not at fault?
You must be licensed to drive, or have a permit and a licensed driver with you. Otherwise, there are legal consequences for that driver. The insurance company may not pay for any damages depending on the policy.
What happens when a licensed driver gets into an accident and does not have insurance?
They can be sued by the other driver for damamges (if at fault). If not at fault, they may have a very difficult time getting insurance in the future and when they do, the premiums will be through the roof.
If someone is driving your car and you do not have them on your insurance and they get into accident are you covered?
Although it depends on your insurance, the driver is covered if driving with your permission.
What happens if an uninsured driver borrows your insured car and gets in an accident?
Depends on the state laws. Typically driver insurance coverage is extended to any driver of the vehicle insured. Insurance covers the vehicle and any legally licensed driver with permission to operate the vehicle.
Is a non licensed driver insured?
Yes and No. No insurance company will ever insure an un-licensed driver. However, if a non-licensed driver is in an accident, where not at fault, with another driver who is insured, that insurance may still cover the injuries of the non-licensed driver. This is very tricky, though. Some states have a type of fault where if you were partially at fault for the accident as well, you may have your damages reduced by the % you are at fault; other states will determine that if you are 50% at fault, you get nothing. So, if a state were to determine that you being un-licensed to drive was worth 50% of the fault (that is, you should never have been there for the accident to occur at all), you might not get any coverage whatsoever. So, it depends on whether or not (and to what extent) you were at fault, and what your particular state's policies are for liability.
Someone hit you an Neither I or other driver has insurance on our car who is at fault?
Who is at fault has to do with the accident itself not the insurance coverage. A police report of the accident and looking at the proximate cause of the accident help determine fault.
What if someone is driving your car and they get into an accident and get hurt and they do not have car insurance is the owners insurance responsible for medical for the injured driver and damages?
You guessed it!
What if a unsured licensed driver is driving an insured car and causes an accident?
Very simple, the insurance policy follows the vehicle not the driver. In this case, the vehicle insurer will be responsible for all damages.
Can you get car insurance with a permit?
I doubt there is insurance available to you. With a permit, you are actually driving under the authority and liability of the licensed driver in the car. It is their insurance that protects you and other drivers in the event of an accident. Once you have a driver's license and own your own car, you can purchase insurance from almost any insurance company.
