A person can find garage liability insurance through their business insurance provider. There are usually several insurance providers that specialize in small businesses.
Depends. If said friend has insurance then in most cases their insurance will cover the damages due to vicarious liability. If the friend does not have insurance, you are then responsible for any damages caused.
Yes I would I think that hanover insurance is a well trusted company and if I were to recomend it to a friend the friend I recomend it to would enjoy the professionalism of the company.
You can.
General liability means that your friend has been found responsible for something. Liability is usually an insurance term, it means they pay for damages to other peoples property or self.
Because this was an at-fault incident, the 500.00 deductible is your responsibility. You as the owner of the vehicle allowed your friend to drive the car to begin with. Your friend in all fairness should pay you the 500 dollars. Why is your friend's insurance paying you? Your own comprehensive/collision policy should pay you (less the deductible) and then "subrogate" the claim to your friend's auto or general liability insurance or sue him directly if he has no insurance and send you the deductible after they have collected.
generally the person who owns the car at fault involved in the accident is financially responsible. hopefully you have insurance and your friend is not excluded from your policy for some reason. if your friend is not excluded then your insurance company should pay
No, each injury/coverage stands on it's own merit, if there were two injuries yours and your friends, your friend retained an attorney, that shouldn't affect the speed of your offer of settlement. Unless there is a liability question/disagreement and that is why your friend has an attorney.
You should report the theft immediately to the police and to the car owner's insurance company.
This depends on the state. In California if you loan a friend your vehicle and he kills someone with it, then you are also charged with manslaughter!
Not likely. For property damage, insurance is primary to the vehicle. Unless you live in WI or NH, you are required to carry liability insurance, regardless if you drive your car or not. Liability pays for the damage your car causes to other people for their injuries and damage to their car. Knowingly lending your uninsured car to some one is legally the same thing as you driving without insurance. Your friend's insurance probably contains a non-owned vehicle clause, but this is designed for loaner cars from dealerships, test drives, and rental cars.
YOU will. only his liability will follow him. you loan your car, you loan your insurance as well. So looks like your not getting your car paid for.
Probably the best way to find a good insurance company is to ask your relatives or friend about their insurance company because most of the adds on magazines or web may exagerate to get more costumers.
