What is a type of vehicle insurance that covers damage sustained by the insured's vehicle in an accident?
Collision
Would insurance cover the accident if you were in an accident but were not on the insurance policy but you had your own vehicle and insurance on it?
If the car that was involved, in an acident was insured yea!
Who pays when there is an accident involving a vehicle that is insured by someone other than the owner of the vehicle?
Insurance stays with the vehicle, barring any policly exclusions to the contrary, the insurance that covers the vehicle covers that vehicles actions. If you allow someone to drive your vehicle and they have an accident that is their fault your insurance will be the one that takes care of the damages.
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.
What happens when an insured car hit you and you hit another car but your car isn't insured?
If you were forced into striking another vehicle by a vehicle which struck you first, the vehicle that struck you is (usually) responsible for the entire accident. However, if you are required to have insurance in your state, that will not get you out of any ticket becauise of your lack of insurance.
If you have liability insurance on one vehicle are you insured if you drive another vehicle?
Auto insurance typically covers the car, not the driver. So, if you have insurance on your vehicle, but you drive another vehicle that doesn't have insurance, you are not protected by your policy if you have an accident in that other vehicle. However, if you have insurance on your vehicle, and you lend it to a driver (from another household) who does not have his or her own insurance, they will be covered by your policy while they are driving your car.
What is the liability of the owner if some other person takes out insurance on his car?
The insured and the owner of the vehicle are both legally responsible for the vehicle and they could both get sued for an accident.
Will progressive insurance pay for an uninsured vehicle if the at fault vehicle was insured by them?
The insurance status of the victim's vehicle is irrelevant. The at-fault insurance company will pay for your damages whether your car is insured or not.
Can your car insurance not pay if you have an accident in the insured vehicle but no valid license?
Sure. If you have no valid license, you have no business driving a car at all. If you weren't driving illegally, you wouldn't have had the accident.
Does your insurance cover you to drive a car that has no insurance?
Your personal auto insurance will be secondary to the insurance of the vehicle that you are driving (assuming you do not own it and it is not a business vehicle). If you get involved in a car accident while you are operating a vehicle that is -not- yours, then the insurance of that vehicle has to pay first, and if that insurance is not enough (or is not there) then your insurance will kick in. Notice that if you get pulled over by police they will ask you to show proof of insurance on the vehicle (not your insurance.) The law requires all vehicles to be insured, not individuals.
Is an insured driver on your policy responsible for damages that they have not repaired on your vehicle?
== == In the event that you got into a car accident and it was not your fault but the other driver's, if he is insured, his insurance company is liable to pay for the damages of your vehicle. On the other hand, if the other driver is not insured, your own insurance company, provided you have a policy regarding uninsured or underinsured drivers, will be responsible for the damages your vehicle has incurred. They however, may have a right of action against the person responsible for the accident. The person who caused the damage to your vehicle is ultimately responsible for the damage to your vehicle regardless of whether there is an applicable insurance coverage or not. Whether you actually have the repairs done is none of their business.
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.
