If you have collision insurance.
In this state, the person who caused the accident is at fault. If the person at fault has insurance then his insurance should fix the other car. Otherwise, in this state, the person at fault owes the money himself to fix the other car. The insurance company will not pay one cent to fix the other car.
No fault car insurance is coverage designed to compensate victims of car accidents via their own insurance company, regardless of which driver was in fault.
As far as i know the not at fault Insurance decision will prevail over the the one at fault. Besides there are certain "rules" that all insurance companies goes by when they take a determination whether or not a car is totaled. If by any chance the insurance companies can't agree they go to an arbitrary service provided by state for insurance companies and they can come to a decision.
Yes, car insurance can pay the value of the car instead of fixing it. This will happen when the cost to fix it is greater than the current value. It is then not worth fixing, from a financial perspective. This is what is meant when you say that your car has been "totaled" (it was a total loss).
Florida's no fault car insurance pertains to medical payments. The insurance states that the insurance company will pay for your bodily injury claims regardless of who was at fault for the accident. Damage done to property (i.e. the car) would still be covered by the at fault party. The Florida no fault car insurance is a benefit because one does not have to worry about not having their medical needs covered because the accident was the fault of the other party and they do not have sufficient insurance.
You do not need to know if the car you hit has insurance if you were at fault. It would not matter if they have insurance because you as the at fault would be responsible for the damages you caused.AnswerIf the owner of the car presented you some documents stating that his/her car has an insurance.
If you have comprehensive insurance, your policy will cover the damages (less a deductable). In this case, your insurance company will sue the at fault driver. You can also sue the at fault driver for damages (if you do not have comprehensive).
Not if it is deemed to be 100% the other drivers fault and they have insurance.
If the other party was clearly at fault in hitting your vehicle then their insurance will pay for the damage to your vehicle. The key is that it is their fault. The way you word the question you don't state that they were at fault but that they hit your car. If it is determined that they were at fault then their insurance pays, if you were at fault then your insurance pays.
If you have a third party only policy no. If you have a comprehensive policy yes. If you carry "collision insurance", your company pays no matter who is at fault. It's pretty much mandatory coverage if it's a new car so the lender can protect it's investment.
You will have to check your state law on this. If it is a no-fault state. Then your insurance will repair your vehicle and then bill the other driver's company. I am not sure of the procedure in a "fault" state. You could try contacting your insurance agent or any auto insurance agent in your state.
No. If the accident was your fault, you can not get money from the other person's car insurance.
