You do not sue the insurance company. Any suit is filed against the At Fault party only. The insurance company will defend their client and pay damages according to the terms of the policy.

The insurance companies usually settle each claim independantly. Your insurance will pay yours, the other co will pay theirs. But your insurance will go up. If you have only the required liability insurance your company will not pay for your damage. If you do not have comprehensive and collision, you may have to sue the at-fault driver to force his insurance carrier pay. If you have coverage of your own, you can file a claim with your agent and immediately collect the damages (less your deductible) and your company will sue his if necessary. If and when they win or receive a settlement, you will get your deductible back. Also, if the other driver is determined to be at fault, your rates should not increase.


What happens when a uninsured driver hit someone?

What happens when an insured driver hits someone depends on the state you live in. In a no-fault state you present your claim to your insurance company for payment. In a tort state, you would sue the driver for compensation. If you have uninsured driver coverage, then your insurance company should cover you and/or your vehicle, up to a certain amount. You should check with your insurance company to be sure.
