In case of 50-50 fault when one car has no damage and other has substantial damage does each pay for his own damages or for half the cost?
depends on the liability statue for that state if a pure comparative negligence state then each party pays their portion of fault to the other, in the example you gave no payment of course if no damage, other party (insurance) would pay 50% of the damaged persons claim ...need to know the statue-no fault? comparative? 51/49? pure comparative? etc

I have PLPD insurance. If you get in an accident and it is not your fault he got the ticket can you be held responsible for his damages you hit him but he got failure to yield No one was hurt?
In a situation where you have PLPD (Personal Liability and Property Damage) insurance and are involved in an accident where the other driver received a ticket for failure to yield, you may still be held responsible for the damages you caused. PLPD insurance typically covers only the other party's damages and injuries, not your own. Therefore, if you were found at fault for the accident, your PLPD insurance would likely cover the other driver's damages, but you could still be held financially responsible for those damages. It is important to review your insurance policy and consult with a legal professional for specific guidance in such situations.
