Assuming that you are referring to a collision involving a negligent party (the "third party") and a non-negligent party, it depends upon the type of harm caused.
1. If property damage results from the collision, the at-fault party is responsible to the owner of the car that he/she damaged. Damages are measured by the reasonably cost of repair. The innocent party may also generally recover other out of pocket expenses that are directly related to the collision These may include, for example, the cost of a rental car while the damaged car is undergoing repair.
2. If the innocent party or an occupant of the car is injured, he or she may recover damages for the bodily injuries. However, most states impose thresholds of severity of the injuries that must be met before a lawsuit can be brought for injuries against the at fault party. The threshold is sometimes stated in terms of whether there has been a "permanent injury" (as determined by a medical professional), or by a stated amount of medical expenses. What the threshold is is a matter of state law.

Who pays when the driver is not the owner and hit a car and doesn't have insurance?
If a driver is not an owner of the car and he also doesn't have insurance of his own and unfortunately hits a car, in such a case if a car is already insured by the owner, he will be covered against the third-party damages. But if a car is not insured, the owner is liable here to pay the damages that third-party oo another car had faced.

Auto accident other driver was not owner nor insurer of car?
I was recently involved in a car accident in which the driver of the other car is legally at fault. Is the other party's insurance still liable for damages involved if the at fault driver is: 1. not the owner of the car, 2. not the insurer of the car, 3. does not have a license. Thanks!
Is it legal for a cop to search a car based off the driver's consent but the only owner of the car was in the passenger seat and not informed about the search whatsoever?
The operator of the vehicle (driver) is legally responsible for the contents of the vehicle and can give consent to search the vehicle. As long as the consent was given voluntarily, not coerced, and the person consenting has actual or apparent authority over the vehicle. This is considered a "third-party consent scenario." The third-party driver of the vehicle can consent to a search while the owner is present as a passenger. Rodriguez, 497 U.S. at 186. A critical factor to consider is whether the owner/passenger objected to the search.So the question is: Did the owner/passenger object to the search?" If not, I don't think the owner has an argument.

What is meant by insurance and types of insurance?
Third party car insurance or third party liability is also referred to as the 'act only' cover. It is a mandatory cover under the Motor Vehicles Act to ensure that the driver has adequate insurance coverage to pay for the damages resulting from an accident. The first party over here is the driver of the car, the second party is the insurance company and the third party is any person (injured or who claims damage) involved in the accident. For More
