What happens when an uninsured driver driving an insured car got hit by an insured driver?
P.S. The insured driver is found at-fault with witnesses. The uninsured driver is worried if his license will be suspended or facing any penalty for driving the his parent's INSURED car.
Can an insured driver drive an uninsured?
uninsured what?? If it is drivable, of course, any driver can drive it if that driver is knowledgeable as to the mechanics and procedure needed to drive it. This is just one more question that is too vague to give a propper answer.
What happens if an uninsured driver borrows your insured car and gets in an accident?
Depends on the state laws. Typically driver insurance coverage is extended to any driver of the vehicle insured. Insurance covers the vehicle and any legally licensed driver with permission to operate the vehicle.
What happens if an uninsured driver causes an accident in an insured car?
Vehicles are insured not drivers. If you are qualified and authorized to operate an auto the insurance on it will pay for it and any damage done by it.
The liable driver was not insured how does the insured victim get money back?
Some insurance company policies cover being hit by an uninsured driver -check you policy. If not then you would have to sue the liable driver personally (only worth doing if you think he/she has any assets to cover the claim and the legal costs).
What happens when an uninsured driver borrows a friend's uninsured car and gets into a wreck?
Both the uninsured driver and the friend are in trouble. My GUSS IS the uninsured friend will be liable to any damages he has caused The uninsured friend will be responsible for the damages to their car If insurance is required in your state, the uninsured friend and/or driver could face criminal charges
If you have an insurance policy to drive any vehicle would you still be insured to drive a car that is not insured by the owner?
The answer is "it depends." I know of no insurance companies that issue policies "to drive any vehicle" ... automobile insurance, at least in the USA, is based on the car being driven. In that case, the insurance is actually on the automobile, not on the driver. Therefore, an uninsured car would not be insured regardless of the driver. There may be exceptions, depending on the underwriter and the particular policy involved.
What happens to you when an uninsured unlicensed driver driving your car has an accident?
Is your car insured? Did the driver have your permission? more that likely there will be coverage, (subject to any policy exclusion), but you will obviously have rate increases that will take many years to clear up. If your vehicle is also not insured, you will more than likely be held (assuming driver had permission), equally responsible for all costs, not to mention fines, loss of plates etc.
Will an insured driver liability cover intentional damages to uninsured car that is parked?
Yes, as long as the car is parked on private property. Cars stored on private property and not "in service" are the same as any other property, If the insured runs into your parked car our your house the insurance will pay. That's not quite correct. If the damage was intentional, meaning that the driver of the insured car deliberately struck the uninsured parked car, then the at fault driver's insurance will NOT pay because of a clause in the policy that excludes coverage for 'intentional acts' like criminal activity (which is what this is). So the parked car's owner would have to pursue a civil case against the at fault driver and try to collect against their personal assets.
What happens when adult unlicensed driver hits you and is driving an insured car?
Generally, the owner of the insured car is held liable for any damages or losses involved after an accident. So if you want to file a claim for compensation after a crash, it is better to file it with the owner of the insured car or his insurance company. The adult unlicensed driver however, can be held liable criminally if there was death or injury involved.
What is cover under uninsured motorist?
When you buy a car, you have 30 days to get it insured before it becomes illegal, but you are completely financially responsible for any damage done until you are insured.
If in an at fault accident and you have no insurance and there is no injurys to either party and no police come and make a report what should the uninsured driver expect in California or any state?
The uninsured driver, assuming they are at fault, can expect to be pursued civilly by either the other driver's insurance company or the other driver. The uninsured motorist can be sued for damages and any other expenses incurred as a result of the accident, including court costs.
