QuestionInsurance Question  I was in an accident over the weekend while driving someone else's car. I did not call the police, because the person was a close friend of the family. We agreed to file a report the next day. However, he is avoiding me. I am not insured on the policy of the vehicle I was driving, but I have a car with car insurance. What do I need to do? (The accident was not my fault.)

AnswerAuto Insurance Answer

I realize you were trying to be polite, but you need to report the accident to the police. They will let you know their level of involvement. They may also help determine fault for the accident. After that you need to contact the person whose vehicle you were using - because that insurance will be "primary." Your insurance coverage will be "excess." After that, family friend or not, you will need to reach that person's insurance company. That person's insurance company will be responsible for fixing the vehicle you were driving.
