This is a situation where the parents of the minor who was driving the vehicle should obtain legal counsel as soon as possible. Because the minor was not licensed the insurance provider does not have to accept liability for any damages. The parents of the minor however, can be held liable for any and all property damage and personal injuries that were incurred, including a possible wrongful death lawsuit depending upon the circumstances.

How does car insurance work after an accident?

The way car insurance works after an accident is that a report must be made to the insurance company. They will review it and then decide what you new insurance cost will be. Answer: Accidents need to be reported to your insurance company as soon as possible whether you or someone else caused the accident. If police were called to the scene then you must obtain a copy of the police report as well to be sent to your insurance company. All of this if you plan to file the insurance claim through your or the other drivers insurance. Some have accidents but the repairs are so minor that they pay out of pocket rather than getting the insurance companies involved.
