It's going to be very difficult to claim that it's not the fault of the person who was breaking the law by driving illegally.
Anyone can be listed on your car insurance policy as long as they have a valid driver's license. You just have to remember if that person has a bad driving record it will affect your insurance.
Only if the legal penalty for driving while uninsured is license suspension.
Permissive use by unlicensed driverYes, So long as the driver was not excluded by name from your policy, your insurance will pay for the claims. The unlicensed driver is not covered under your policy. Your negligence in allowing an unlicensed driver is covered under your policy. So basically, Your Insurer will be paying what is considered a negligence claim against you as the policy holder.Other AnswersNo the insurance will not cover for the accident since the person driving the vehicle did not have a driving license and the owner has given the keys to the person - permission to drive.

There is no difference between a driver's license and a driving license; they refer to the same official document that permits an individual to operate a motor vehicle legally. The use of "driver's license" is more common in American English, while "driving license" is more common in British English.
A driver who does not have a valid drivers license will be fined and charged, this has nothing to do with a car that is insured, if the driver is caught and cannot prove that the car is insured the fine will be doubled or tripled. No sane person would drive a car without a valid license or insurance, no matter what part of the civilized world you live in.
Your insurance should cover the person you hit. In about six months the unlicensed driver WILL get a letter in the mail from DMV saying they ARE in trouble for driving without a license. Usually, the punishment is a years suspended license and a fine.

No, because of the chances that one could forget their driver's license is actually good, they could still own and have insurance on the car being driven.

You cannot insure a vehicle that you do not own so the answer to the question is no. The insurance must be in the name of the vehicles owner. If there is a good reason that the owner has no license some insurance companies will allow the owner to purchase the insurance in their name but exclude themselves as a driver and list the person or persons who will be driving as listed drivers on the policy. This is a legally written policy.
If you have car insurance ,police will never stop you even if you dont have driving license.
If the insurance policy is active and valid and the driver is a covered driver then you file your claim just as in any other accident.
