The policy that applies to the merchandise owner, is the policy that would provide the coverage.
Assuming the stolen car was insured, the stolen cars insurance would be responsible. If the stolen car was not insured, the driver, if located would be responsible. If not located then the owner would probably be held responsible. Hopefully the struck vehicle is insured for "uninsured motorist" coverage. Filing the report after the accident would document the theft, but not neccesarily clear the owner of responsibility.
No one but the thief and he/she is not going to have any money so you lose.
You can report it stolen but they wont do anything once they find out a co owner has the car. They cant steal a car they own.
The thief who stole the car is liable for the damages he caused. The owner of the stolen vehicle is a victim also of the same Thief. You my seek compensation from your own insurance policy if you have full coverage options.
Unless the car was stolen or being used without the owner's permission, the owner of the vehicle would be responsible for your injuires. However, if you have your own insurance, you can file a claim under your own medical coverage and/or uninsured motorist coverage. If you don't, you might be able to claim for damages under the insurance of the vehicle you were riding in.
The risk you run in this situation is that the owner will report the car stolen. The owner would be within their rights to assume the car was stolen and proceed as such.
you need to have Comprehensive coverage on your policy.
Not usually. If you are trying to make a claim from the stolen car's owner, you likely won't get coverage. Most liability policies have an exclusion for 'intentional acts' or claims arising out of the criminal use of a vehicle, which would include if the car was stolen. But if you have uninsured motorists coverage (many states require it), then you'll be covered anyway from your own policy and won't need to make a claim against the owner. Also....you would likely have personal liability against the thief so you could try to collect against that person.
Depends on your insurance coverage: ask your insurer.
If You Did Not Purchase Full Coverage. They Are Not, So Looks Like The Person That Stole Your Car Is.
You will get back the cost to get you a like vehicle.
