Stolen Vehicle

You would not be liable as the person did not have a reasonable belief that you allowed him/her to use the vehicle and you had no control over the operation of the vehicle.

No you will not be responsible for the damages caused to the other party because the vehicle was stolen from you.

The damages were caused by the 'non-permissive driver', which is not covered in your auto policy. The other driver is required to file the claim with his insurer under the uninsured motorist coverage.

Hope the information helps.

Most likely the insurer will decline the claims against your policy. I agree with Jeremy, it'll be considered as the non-permissive use of the vehicle. I'm sure that California has no different law regarding this issue.

Inform your insurer and also get hold of the police report. It'll act as the supporting document for you.

Have you been contacted by the other driver regarding the damages caused to his vehicle?

* Look for legal counseling

* Learn more about the differences between the thefts of different magnitudes

Ditto. Ditto. Ditto. If you did not give permission for him to take your car, then you are free and clear.

Since the car was stolen, you obviously didn't give him permission.
