Your insurance will likely cover the liability costs less deductibles. You may be forced to file charges for vehicle theft against the unlicensed driver and your insurance company may also sue him.

Unless the vehicle was taken without your permission, I hope so. Allowing your vehicle to be driven by an unlicensed driver is a serious judgment error, the kind that insurance companies do not like to underwrite.
Is an unlicensed driver crashes a vehicle that is insured what happens?
Technically, the insurance company should cover the costs of the other vehicle. If the unlicensed driver took the vehicle without permission, the owner may even be able to collect on the collision insurance to cover part of their expenses, but if he/she does that he/she will probably have to show a police report that the unlicensed driver took the vehicle without permission and that it was technically, automobile theft. On the other hand, the insurance costs for the owner may to up dramatically whether the owner gave permission or not. It all depends on the insurance company and how they view the circumstances. The unlicensed driver may not be allowed to get a drivers license for several years, depending on state laws.

In Ohio if an uninsured unlicensed driver is driving your car without permission and hits a car and you have insurance are you responsible?
I sense that this person driving your car without permission is a resident of your household. Without a police report of the theft of your vehicle then the person driving your car, especially if they are a resident of your household and reasonably knew where to find the keys, would have presumptive permission to use the car and your insurance will have to pay.

The car owner's policy would cover the passengers' injuries. But if the car was used without permission -- that is, if the unlicensed driver just took the keys without asking - then the insurance company is unlikely to cover any claims.
If an unlicensed driver has an accident driving your car?
Any damage would not be covered by your insurance company especially if you gave them permission to drive it. Now if it was stolen....but you probably wouldn't want to say that, might get your unlicensed driver a criminal record. To add to that, if you say it was stolen and it is not and you don't roll over on the unlicensed driver, you will be investigate for insurance fraud and if they catch you, you will be denied on the claim and could possibly face criminal charges yourself.
