Does your insurance cover your car when an uninsured driver is driving and have a wreck?

It really depends on the type of coverage you have. Normally if that person had permission to drive the vehicle, you have full coverage/collision insurance, and that person was at fault your insurance will cover damages. If someone else caused the accident, you would still receive damages from their insurance if they were insured. Sometimes however the driver's insurance would cover your damages under certain circumstances. As always, it is really best to ask your insurance carrier or refer to your most recent coverage letter from the company.

How does auto insurance subrogation recovery suit work?

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 a claim be made against a person's insurance without their permission?

Anytime you make a claim with your own insurance company against someone else's company or their company directly, the company taking the claim by law has to fully verify and investigate the claim being made. Not only that, no insurance company in their right mind would pay out insurance claims without checking them out first.

No, that's what car insurance is for. If someone hit your car, that person is the one liable for your damages, not the property owner where it was parked.


How does No Fault work if there are no injuries only vehicle damage?

Most "no fault" laws apply only to injuries, so in other words, if someone else damages your car, you can get the damages taken care of by their insurance company (or use your ins company and they will go to them for you possibly). Michigan is the only state I know of that is completely no fault, i.e. for property damage you go through your own insurance company
