Who pays the damages when a stolen vehicle hits your car?
|
My van got stolen and i decided to follow the van with my other car. i was following him for a little bit and then i guess he noticed i followed him so he backed into me and hit my other car.
Who pays for the damages on both cars? The criminal or my insurance? Im not fully covered in both vehicles so does that mean i would have to pay for damages to fix both my cars? What if the criminal hasnt been found yet, who pays for the damages??? Me or my Car insurance. I am insured with Farmers Car insurance

you do not have full coverage, so you are shite out of luck. You would actually have to sue the criminal! I know it sounds crazy, but I have seen it happen more than once. |

Call your insurance company and next time, call the police and let them do their job. You could have been killed trying to play detective. |

Your screwed! The thief has to pay once he's caught and convicted. Then, if he has no money, which he doesn't since he's stealing car's, you have to put a garnishment on his wages. He probably has no wages either. If he does, he can just quit and get a new job and then you have to find out were he works again........it'll be YEAR'S before you see anything.
You DID make a police report right away....right? |

I'm assuming the other vehicle was found since you say it was stolen. If this is the case this would be paid under your uninsured motorist coverage assuming you have this coverage. If not then this would be paid under your Collision coverage. If you do not have this coverage see if the area that you live in has a victim's of crime compensation fund. |

If the police catch the criminal and secure a conviction then he will pay for the damage to both vehicles if and only if the courts decide it is reasonable for him to do so and even then he may refuse to pay up and prefer to go to jail. If he has no money a wife and 6 kids and has caused £1000 worth of damage he will claim he can not afford to pay you ! and the courts may agree with him and sentence him to do some community service etc with no compensation for you.
If he is not caught then you may claim on your insurance if your policy is fully comprehensive other wise you will have to pay. |

If you do not have collision coverage on your vehicles then the insurance is not going to pay a penny.
So ultimately, you will be responsible to repair your own cars.
You could TRY to find out who stole your car and pursue them for payment, but think about it. They Obviously do not have money considering they tried to STEAL your car. |
