Barring any exclusions in the policy, the insurance 'stays with the car' so your insurance will pay for the damage to the innocent persons vehicle (under your liablity coverage). If you have collison coverage on your vehicle/policy it too will pay to repair your vehicle less the deductible. If there is no collision coverage on your vehicle and the driver has a policy with collision coverage the drivers collision coverage may step in and repair your vehicle, but ONLY if you don't have collision coverage.

You were involved in an accident with your dads automobile and he has only liability insurance and you are not on the policy who is responsible?

If 'you' were at fault, or there was no other party involved (ie: backing into a pole..), then 'you' are. Even if 'you' were on the policy, it only covers damage to other vehicles/property/people, no coverage for dmg to car itself. If the vehicle was in the care, custody, and control of someone given permission to drive it, then that someone is responsible for any and all damage to the vehicle.
