If an insurance company made a settlement offer and a check was to be written when they realized they were not the at-fault's insurer at the time of the accident are they still liable?

Answer

NO, They are not liable if their insured was not at fault or was not their insured regardless of whether a check had already been written or not. In fact should they have issued a settlement check and later determined they were not liable, The insurer can demand a refund of the settlement amount they issued.
