Your question involves an issue of law concerning whether or not the driver who was at fault was a permissive user of the owners vehicle. This would also include whether or not the permissive user of the vehicle was an excluded driver under the policy. I think you should consult with an experienced auto-negligence attorney in your area to get a better understanding of your potential claim.

Short answer is probably yes. You should place your own insurance carrier on notice of this wreck as you may have an uninsured motorist claim. As stated above, there may well be a "permissive use" issue regarding the driver of the other involved vehicle. If we can help, please feel free to call. Thanks.
