Assuming that the friend was driving the car at the time of the accident, both the owner and the driver in most cases can be held liable, and both could be sued. What actions can be taken to recover damages is pursuant to state laws. Often an insurance company will refuse to pay a claim under these circumstances. Contacting the insurance agent would be the best option.
