You would need to sue the other party in the accident and not the insurance company itself. It was the other party that caused your injuries and not the carrier.
If your parked car is hit in a school parking lot by an uninsured motorist what action can you expect from your own insurance company?
It depends on what sort of coverage you have on the vehicle. If you are fully insured, then the insurance will pay the damages minus your deductible. If not, you are on your own and will have to try to get the other party to pay for the damages. If your insurance pays, you can still sue the other party for the amount of your deductible.
What happens when one of the involved parties does not have auto insurance at time of the accident?
Assuming in this instance the uninsured driver is the one at fault, he or she is still liable for any property damage & personal injuries that may have resulted from the accident. The injured party will make a claim against his or her uninsured motorist policy. But that insurance company can, and often will, sue the uninsured driver.
If you are uninsured can you still sue the insurance of the insured that was at fault?
No according to the law (which may be different from state to state) The uninsured motorist is always at fault
When you do not have any insurance AND the person who took your car without permission has no insurance and causes an accident who is responsible of the other parties damages?
You hope that the other driver responsible in the crash has insurance that covers uninsured drivers and then you sue your friend!
Can you still collect a release from an insurance company after you have won or lost a civil suit against the other party involved in an accident?
What kind of release are you talking about? If you file a claim with your insurance company for Uninsured Motorists Coverage, you are awarding the company with the rights of subrogation. This means that you are giving them your right to sue the other party. If you did not have UM coverage and sued the other party on your own. In both of these cases you are not dealing with the insurance company directly, except if they call you to testify in their subrogation case against the other party.
What happens in a car accident if both cars involved do not have insurance and the car at fault was drunk driving?
If neither vehicle was insured you will have to sue the other party in order to collect any damages. Drunk driving is a contributing factor but really whichever party is at fault for any reason will be liable to the other party. The bad news is that if the person did not have insurance the probably don't have assets to pay the damages. This is why you need insurance and uninsured motorists coverage.
What are your payment rights when hit by an uninsured motorist?
If you have uninsured motorist coverage on your own insurance policy, your insurance will assist you. Often, your insurance will pay your damages and then it will file a civil suit against the other driver to get reimbursed. Also, you can sue the driver individually for the damage. However, many people who are uninsured are in that position because they can't afford insurance, and therefore you may get a judgment that the defendant cannot or will not ever pay.
What do you do if you get into a car accident and have no insurance?
hope the other person has uninsured motorist coverage or else its coming out of your pocket. and then, their ins co may sue you. IN THE END, YOU PAY
