Your injuries could potentially be more than what your insurance would pay, thus your driving friend would be liable for the injuries.

Actually your insurer would likely go after his, assuming he had it, to get their costs mitigated.

I suppose that could happen to some, but my insurance pays for all care after I satisfy the flat out-of-pocket requirement.

I suppose my friend would be liable for the out-of-pocket cost, but that would typically be only several hundred dollars--a fair amount of money, but not much relatively speaking if this is a wreck that caused injuries.

Worse-- the insurer will deny the claim and make the patient go after the other person's insurance
