If my mom doesn't have collision coverage but got in an accident, will she have to pay for the damages to her car?
"For reference, my mom was turning left on a green arrow, and another car hit her. Her car is pretty damaged, but she doesn't have collision insurance. Will the other driver's insurance pay for the repairs?"

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“In the case of accidents,
car insurance companies
use a percentage system to assign blame for the accident. For instance, they could say one driver is 80% at fault for the accident and the other driver 20%. They negotiate these percentages based on police reports and the information you provide them. If the insurance companies find the other driver was 100% at fault, then their
liability car insurance
should cover all the damages. However, if your mother was even partially at fault, she might incur some of the costs.”View full answer
