First, it would be better to stay in one thread.
The claim needs to be reported to whatever carrier insures the vehicle being driven. If the driver has his own policy then the loss needs to be reported to them as well.
If the driver is not listed on the owners policy and has access to the vehicle on an ongoing bases than the claim may be denied. Depends.
What I don't understand is the time usually needed to have gone by before the other parties attorney works up to filing suit. The day after the accident occurred it should have been reported to the owners and/or drivers insurance companies. Was this done?
If the owners carrier denies the claim and someone files suit against the owner then I'd recommend finding an attorney who will bring the insurance company into the suit under a Bad Faith claim and work on a contingency basis.
