This depends on the state. In California if you loan a friend your vehicle and he kills someone with it, then you are also charged with manslaughter!

What happens if you let a friend borrow your car that is uninsured but the friend has non-owners insurance and he gets into an accident that wasn't his fault?
almost all states require liability insurance. the fact that the friend had 'non owner' does not mean that it was ok to drive an uninsured vehicle. the law requires the vehicles, not the drivers, to be insured.

Depends. If said friend has insurance then in most cases their insurance will cover the damages due to vicarious liability. If the friend does not have insurance, you are then responsible for any damages caused.

You can.
Can you safely give your car having comprehensive and collision coverage to your friend who has a drivers license but no insurance?
If you're asking if your friend can simply borrow your car occasionally, and you carry full coverage and liability on the car, then yes, you should be okay. Car insurance follows the vehicle, so even if your friend has his own coverage and had an accident while driving your car, your insurance would still be primary. If, however, you're talking about allowing your friend to drive the car all the time, on a daily and/or regular basis, you could face problems if you don't let your insurance carrier know that your friend is using the car all the time. This is because the premiums you pay are based on you as a driver, not your friend.
Where can my friend find a company that offers garage liability insurance for his dealership?

You had no insurance on your car What if your friend borrowed car with permission had an accident and was issued a citation Can you recover from friend's insurance?
Not likely. For property damage, insurance is primary to the vehicle. Unless you live in WI or NH, you are required to carry liability insurance, regardless if you drive your car or not. Liability pays for the damage your car causes to other people for their injuries and damage to their car. Knowingly lending your uninsured car to some one is legally the same thing as you driving without insurance. Your friend's insurance probably contains a non-owned vehicle clause, but this is designed for loaner cars from dealerships, test drives, and rental cars.

If a friend was driving your car and got into an accident but was not at fault who pays for damages in New Jersey?
If you gave the friend permission to be driving your motor vehicle then you are responsible for the damage. If you can prove your friend's negligence, then it might be worth talking to an attorney. If you were in a simple accident, your friend had permission, and it's not his fault, then the other driver is responsible, provided they are legit drivers, have licenses, and are insured. Let's say your buddy was rear-ended. The other guy is the at-fault driver. His liability coverage should pay for the cost of repairs to your vehicle. But if he's carrying only the minimum liability insurance, it may not be enough to cover the entire cost. That's where your un-/under-insured policy kicks in.

They can sue your friend because he was the driver and they can sue you because you are the owner of the vehicle who allowed him to drive your vehicle. .
