It depends on which side of the event you're on first. Basically, whenever you have someone hit your vehicle that has no insurance you are making an uninsured motorist claim. This is normally where subrogation comes into play but it can work the same in any situation where a third party causes damage to your property and your insurance company comes in to pay for the damages for you. In these cases you sign over your rights to collect from the third party to your insurance company in exchange for them going ahead and paying for your damages. The insurance company will then go after the party which caused the damage and collect any damages that they caused instead of you having to take them into court and then try to collect for your damages. The insurance company basically does all this for you as you assign them your rights to the insurance company.

Can you still collect a release from an insurance company after you have won or lost a civil suit against the other party involved in an accident?
What kind of release are you talking about? If you file a claim with your insurance company for Uninsured Motorists Coverage, you are awarding the company with the rights of subrogation. This means that you are giving them your right to sue the other party. If you did not have UM coverage and sued the other party on your own. In both of these cases you are not dealing with the insurance company directly, except if they call you to testify in their subrogation case against the other party.

You crashed your friends car and thought you was insured but found out that you was not you do not know the persons number as it has all gone through insurance how can you pay it or will it have to go?
don't worry the paying insurance company will contact you for repayment once all their claims are settled they will turn it over to the subrogation dept who will get in contact with you.....or you could call the paying insurance company and ask them who you need to talk to about repayment of this debt...some company's (while i don't agree), will automatically file suit to get a judgement, so you might want to get ahold of them yourself first and offer to make some payment arrangements.....and perhaps stop that suit........i guess the friend didn't have ins. on the car and you (or your parents if you live at home) have no auto ins policys?

How do you find an auto insurance companies legal name to use to file a small claims law suite.?
First off you really don't need the insurance companies name because you are not filing suit against the insurance company. You always file suit against the party who is liable for the loss and that is the party that caused the accident itself and not the insurance company. They were not even there right? When you file suit against the owner and driver of the other vehicle they will be responsible for turning your claim over to their insurance company who will represent them and pay any loss that they are responsible for to you. That's all you have to do.
