Is an insured driver on your policy responsible for damages that they have not repaired on your vehicle?
== == In the event that you got into a car accident and it was not your fault but the other driver's, if he is insured, his insurance company is liable to pay for the damages of your vehicle.
On the other hand, if the other driver is not insured, your own insurance company, provided you have a policy regarding uninsured or underinsured drivers, will be responsible for the damages your vehicle has incurred. They however, may have a right of action against the person responsible for the accident.
The person who caused the damage to your vehicle is ultimately responsible for the damage to your vehicle regardless of whether there is an applicable insurance coverage or not. Whether you actually have the repairs done is none of their business.
What else can I help you with?
If you rear-ended another vehicle and you're uninsured can you get an estimate of your own on the other vehicle before you pay for damages if you don't agree to the amount that the owner wants?
The owner of the vehicle is allowed to have his damages repaired anywhere he/she wants. If you have already been determined to be at fault I suggest that you just pay the damages and get insured... or don't drive.
What if a unsured licensed driver is driving an insured car and causes an accident?
Very simple, the insurance policy follows the vehicle not the driver. In this case, the vehicle insurer will be responsible for all damages.
Can an insurance company claim damages from a person who was involved in an accident with the insured after his vehicle is repaired by the insurance company?
Yes; the process is called subrogation. The insurer that paid for the repair of its's insured's vehicle succeeds to the right of action against the at-fault party for the purpose of collecting that which it paid. The subrogating insurer has no greater rights than its insured did, such that if its insured is found to have been, for example, 30% at fault for the collision (in those states that adhere to comparative negligence), the insurer can recover only 70% of its damages.
If an underage driver steals a vechile is the owner responsible?
Not necessarily unless the 'owner' is also the parent of the underage driver. If not, assuming the car was insured, the insurance company may deny the claim. If the vehicle was not insured, then it becomes a civil matter where the owner of the vehicle may be sued by the accident victim and may be found responsible for not having had the vehicle insured if it is the law in your state. If this is the case, and you are not related to the young driver who stole your vehicle, then you have a civil case against that minor's parents and they would in turn be liable and responsible for any damages you may have been made responsible for.
Will progressive insurance pay for an uninsured vehicle if the at fault vehicle was insured by them?
The insurance status of the victim's vehicle is irrelevant. The at-fault insurance company will pay for your damages whether your car is insured or not.

Both the Driver and the Owner are liable for the damages. The driver, whether licensed or not is the primarily liable party. The insured passenger owner is secondarily liable for damages by the unlicensed driver he permitted to operate his vehicle.
Who is responsible for damages if you are not insured driving someone else vehichle?
The driver is always responsible. It is the drivers obligation to verify insurance before getting behind the wheel. If you have insurance on another vehicle you may have some liability insurance covering YOU when you get in someone else's vehicle. Check with your agent.
If you receive a payment to help with damages do you have to use the payment to fix the damages?
1The answer depends on several circumstances, none of which you mention, so the answer has to be that it could be yes or no. Years ago I used to be an auto insurance adjuster. The policy of the company I worked for was this:1. IF the vehicle was NOT paid for [had a lienholder, like a bank or finance company], we had to make the draft out to our insured, AND to the body shop that was going to do the repair, OR If the insured requested, the names of our insured and his LIENHOLDER.This basically forced the insured to get the vehicle repaired, or at least to contact his lienholder and report the damaged vehicle. It was then between he and his lienholder whether he used the funds to repair the vehicle.2. On the other hand, IF our insured's vehicle was PAID OFF, and the insured wanted the draft made payable to himself only, then that's the way we wrote the draft.3. IF the draft was to a third party claimant, regardless of lienholder or not, we wrote the draft to the claimant only.

Who is responsible for a car accident the car owner or the person the insurance policy is under and the car owners friend is driving owner insured owners friend?
The people responsible for an automobile accident are those who are operating the involved vehicles at the time of the accident - unless the cause is mechanical failure or some other event outside the control or any of the operators. The person responsible for paying for the resulting damages may be the vehicle owners or the person who bought the vehicle insurance (usually, but not always, the same person). When operator negligence is involved, the operator may be responsible for paying the damages, even though the operator is not the insured person.
