Auto insurance does not cover intentional criminal acts. So it would really just depend on the circumstances.
If the insurer determines that it was an accidental loss, then resulting damage and injuries should have coverage up to the liability limits provided under the terms of your insurance policy.
If damages exceed the liability limits of your policy you will be responsible for the excess above what your insurance policy will cover.
It's times like this when we realize that it's not always a good idea to by just the cheapest minimum required limits.
An accident with a fatalityAdded: If the accident death was the result of negligence or a criminal act - Vehicular Manslaughter or Vehicular Homicide.
It is very seldom that an "accident" is realy that. Usually it is caused by inattention or negligence.
A motor vehicle - a death - an accident that could have been avoided had the driver taken a little extra care.
What will happen to you if you run over a motorcyclist with your car depends on if it was an accident and if you did it on purpose. There could be no charges filed if it was an accident or you could be charged with vehicular manslaughter.
Yes I believe that's called involuntary manslaughter.
On March 27, 2013 there was a fatal car accident in Missouri. Two people were killed in this accident Wednesday morning. The driver of a semitrailer was charged with involuntary manslaughter.
I am not a lawyer, but I would say either vehicular manslaughter or negligent manslaughter--probably vehicular manslaughter because a car is involved. He WAS going 90mph in unsafe conditions, and the prosecutor is going to use it. I am also not a lawyer but a lot will depend on the State You didn't mention if you bf was ticketed If he hasn't been he probably will be The best thing he can do is get a lawyer If he can't afford one he can get an appointed lawyer That would be the best avenue Having an "accident" while driving 90 mph is not an accident, it is pure negligence.
If someone in a vehicle accident is injured or killed, one or all of the drivers involved in the accident may be charged with vehicular manslaughter or felon reckless or drunken driving, depending on the circumstances. The driver charged does not necessarily have to be the one who caused the accident.

You go to jail for manslaughter <P> <P>If it was truly a pure accident or the deceased person's fault, there would probably not be any legal ramifications. Your insurance company may have to pay out a death benefit depending on the circumstances. However, if your actions contributed to the accident - such as inattentive driving, running a red light, speeding, DUI, etc. - you could face anything from a traffic ticket to being charged with the crime of manslaughter or vehicular homicide.</P>
