The other driver is not "added to your policy". However, the other driver will be covered by your policy for this accident provided certain conditions are met. 1. The vehicle cannot be available for the regular use of this other driver, which is to say the policy will cover them so long as they are merely borrowing the vehicle. 2. The other driver must have the permission of the owner of the vehicle to drive it. Insurance will not cover someone, for example, who wrecks a car after stealing it. Note that if this temporary driver is insured with their own policy, their policy would only come into play if damages exceed the limits of your policy.
As you note in your question that the temporary driver was added to your policy, I must assume that this person is someone who you did not report to your insurance company as a driver but they should be on your policy, i.e. someone who has the regular use of your vehicle. Insurance companies handle this situation in differing ways but some will add a driver to the policy as a courtesy to their insureds. Those that do this will first look into that driver's record to determine what premium they would have charged to cover this person had this person been on the policy from the start. So long as the premium increase would not have been more than a certain percentage, say 30%, they will provide coverage for the accident, add the driver and charge the added premium amount for the added coverage. However, if the premium increase were more than this certain percentage, they may not only deny coverage for this accident, but also rescind the policy - meaning the policy is null and avoid. They can do this because one of the conditions of insurance is that the insurance cannot commit a material misrepresntation, such as misrepresenting who and what is to be insured.
The owner of the car is liable for the accident itself and the damage. However, the insurance company might have to pay for it, depending on the owners insurance cover.
You do not have to reimburse your insurance company if the accident is the fault of the other driver and the claim is made on their insurance. If the accident is the fault of the other driver and their insurance does not cover everything and you make a claim on your insurance for reimbursement, your insurance will subrogate (collect back) from the other company.
Yes.
It does not matter to an insurance company that the other driver had a suspended license. Liability is determined by the factors of the accident and the evidence put forth. The fact that the other driver had no license does not affect liability or the handling of the claim.
After a car accident, one must immediately contact their insurance company to file an auto accident insurance claim, even when the other driver was at fault. Make sure to have all the other driver's insurance information so that the other company can thoroughly investigate.
A company owns a truck that is used to move semi-trailers and this company is self insured has leased a driver from another company and the driver has an accident on the truck owners property that involves only the truck who would be responsible for the damages. The company who owns the truck and their insurance or the company who leased the driver ?
If the other party is refusing to call their insurance company - then you should call their insurance company and file the claim.
If a taxi driver hits you, and its his fault, the cab company's insurance pays.
It is up to the driver to subit the auto accident claim. You should submit the claim as soon as possible after the accident.
The insurance company of the driver "at fault,' or from their personal funds if they have no insurance.
Some do. I work for an insurance company and many will take ownership of the accident.
The insurance company is not liable to pay out any damages that were caused in the accident and they cancel your policy. This means that the driver bears the full financial burden for the costs of the accident.
