Most "no fault" laws apply only to injuries, so in other words, if someone else damages your car, you can get the damages taken care of by their insurance company (or use your ins company and they will go to them for you possibly).
Michigan is the only state I know of that is completely no fault, i.e. for property damage you go through your own insurance company

If a driver has no insurance but drives a car covered by no fault gets into an accident will the owner of the car be able to file a claim with his insurance company?
No fault laws refer to injuries only not property damage. If you have comprehensive and collision coverage on your vehicle the damage to your car will be repaired subject to your deductible, unless the driver is excluded from your policy. For the driver's injuries if he does not own a vehicle then the personal injury protection on your policy will cover his injuries, once again subject to any exclusions.
What are your rights when you are injured in a rollover in a company vehicle?
If the rollover was your fault - only workman's compensation. If the fault of another vehicle or because of a proveable mechanical defect with YOUR company's vehicle, you are eligible to bring suit for whatever damages or injuries you may have incurred as a result of the rollover.
Will insurance cover the cost of a claim if your vehicle is unregistered and im at fault?
The registration of the vehicle has really nothing to do with the insurance. If you have valid insurance at the time of the accident, then you will have coverage for the type of coverages on your policy. If you only had liability, then the other parties vehicle will be covered as well as injuries of the other party. Your car will not be fixed under liability, you have to have physical damage coverage for your vehicle to be repaired.
You wrecked your friends car it was your fault they had no insurance nor do you what type of insurance do you need that will cover you when you drive some else's car?
You can buy a "Non-owners" or a "Named Operator" policy that will cover the damage you cause to the other party for injuries or property damage to the other vehicle. The only way to cover damage to the vehicle you are driving is to have the owner of the purchase a traditional auto insurance policy, with comprehensive and collision coverage, and then list you as a driver on their policy.
If the primary owner is involved in an accident can the cosigner be held liable for personal or property damage?
I am not an attorney but to my understanding, yes they can!! The other party just has to prove your at fault. For instance, you co-signed which allowed the primary to get the vehicle which did the damage without you the primary couldn't of gotten the loan and therefore it is your fault. The only way you might not be at fault is if you are not named as a registered owner of the vehicle.
Can a passenger in a vehicle sue driver of that vehicle?
Yes. If the passenger is hurt in an accident caused by the driver, the passenger is fully entitled to sue the driver. In fact even if the passenger is a spouse of the driver, the passenger can sue.
How does no fault auto insurance work if you hit a parked car?
No Fault insurance ONLY deals with medical injuries to you if you are driving. No Fault has nothing to do with property damage liability. If you hit a parked car, then your Property Damage Liability coverage would pay to repair the parked car and your own Collision coverage (if you have it...it's optional) would pay to repair your car.
Does plpd insurance cover the replacement cost of the other car if you hit someones car from behind and totaled it?
Property damage within your auto policy will cover any damage you may cause from an accident. Liability is for any medical attention they may need. PLPD INSURANCE IS STANDARD MINIMUM COVERAGE THAT PROTECTS YOUR VEHICLE IN THE CASE OF AN AT FAULT ACCIDENT, HENCE WHY IT IS MANDATORY. NO-FAULT LAWS ALLOW COVERAGE FROM YOUR OWN INSURANCE COMPANY TO COVER YOUR OWN VEHICLE. IF YOU WERE NOT AT FAULT IN AN ACCIDENT (SOUNDS LIKE YOU WERE IN THIS ONE) THERE WOULD BE COVERAGE FOR YOUR VEHICLE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. THE OTHER DRIVER'S VEHICLE WILL BE COVERED UNDER THEIR OWN POLICY. YOUR POLICY WORKS FOR YOU ONLY. * Comprehensive pays for damage to your car from vandalism and Acts of God (hail, flood, falling trees, gravel thrown by traffic) and Collision pay for damages to your car when it collides with anything (another car, tree, road sign) if you are at fault. Personal Liability (PL) pays for injuries you cause and Property Damage (PD) pays for damage you cause to another person's property. If the other party is at fault, their insurance pays.
If a vehicle is stolen and is only covered by PLPD will the insurance company pay for the loss?
You must have comprehensive coverage in order to recover on a claim from your insurance company if your vehicle is stolen. Liability only is just that, liability for your legal liability for damage or injuries to others.

Whose insurance pays in PA a no fault state when you hit an illegally parked car in a parking lot?
Yours, because the question is ... even though that car was illegally parked, what type of driving were you doing that caused you to hit it? No fault only applies to injuries. Property damage is the responsibility of the at fault driver.
