What happens when one of the involved parties does not have auto insurance at time of the accident?
Assuming in this instance the uninsured driver is the one at fault, he or she is still liable for any property damage & personal injuries that may have resulted from the accident. The injured party will make a claim against his or her uninsured motorist policy. But that insurance company can, and often will, sue the uninsured driver.
Who is liable if someone borrows your car and gets in an accident?
The fault lies with the vehicle that cause the accident. When someone borrows a car, the car owner can be liable because the allowed someone to drive the vehicle. Often this type of accident has to be sorted out in court.
If you have a repair of 800 and a 500 deductible should the claim be submitted or just pay the difference since the insurance premiums will probably go up more than the 300 difference over the policy?
If the accident was your fault and your company doesn't have an accident forgiveness policy or you haven't been with your company long enough to qualify for forgiveness then I would highly consider paying out of pocket for the damage. If the accident wasn't your fault then go ahead with the claim. Make sure that you know whether the accident is your fault or not. What an insurance company thinks about fault is often times different than what you think.

Will your insurance premium go up if you swerved to avoid an accident after being cut off and ended up hitting a guardrail?
First of all it is the responsibility of all drivers to stop for the unexpected. "Ghost" drivers who cut people off which results in you hitting the guardrail are often times considered an "at fault" accident unless you have a witness to the accident that will confirm the "ghost" driver.
What is the difference between fault and blame?
Fault is technical. Blame is culpability. If I accidental commit a crime (such as fail to scan 3 items at the store check out and only scan 2) I am technically stealing, and at fault. But I'm not to blame, it was an accident. Not sure if the law makes a legal differential often though.

What happens if an uninsured and unlicensed person has an auto accident?
Liability of Uninsured Drivers in the USA.The at fault driver is always the primary person liable for damages from any accident they cause whether licensed, insured or not. Licensed status does not negate liability. In the U.S. both the at fault driver and the registered vehicle owner can be held financially liable. If no nsurance is avalable, you owe personally for all the damages and may have some fines to pay as well.Happy MotoringWrong Answer for USA, Perhaps valid in some other countriesIf an unlicensed driver is involved in a automobile accident, they are, by default, responsible due to the fact that they are not legally operating a vehicle. Their presence on the road is considered the first in the chain of events that lead to the accident. AnswerDepending on how serious injuries were, if any, this type of crime carries about the same weight as Driving while intoxicated. You will probably do jail time and if you ever get licensed will need an SR-22 slip often. AnswerWould you please provide me with the supporting legislation, rule or other that substantiates this. My son was involved in an accident with an unlicensed driver and the State of NJ Department of Insurance and Banking had no idea what I was talking about when I mentioned David Adam's answer which read, "If an unlicensed driver is involved in a automobile accident, they are, by default, responsible due to the fact that they are not legally operating a vehicle. There presence on the road is considered the first in the chain of events that lead to the accident."
