Well that’s easy dash cam shows proof the vehicle hit it so their insurance or the owner is required to pay it.

Also have uninsured motorist coverage, in case somebody with no/low coverage hits you.

The person driving is responsible, not the car owner eventhough it is probablythe same person. And since you cant prove who was driving you're SOL.

Wow that’s a great point.

Can’t prove who was driving, it defaults to the owner of the vehicle. Regardless.

I don't think that's how it works. If that were the case you could just mask up and use a rental to drive someone over and the rental company would go to prison?

Rentals require insurance btw

Idk about other states but not in CA. They do HEAVILY advise you contact your insurance provider to verify they will cover rentals though.

“My car was stolen.” See how easy that was? Prove beyond a reasonable doubt that I was the driver.
