I saw a live police pursuit on the news a few days ago in SoCal. The police tried boxing the guy in, but failed miserably. The guy crashed into an innocent driver's vehicle and took off.
I'm curious about who covers the innocent guy's vehicle repairs.
Does anyone here have any info? I tried searching for it on Google, but I couldn't find relevant info; I only found articles stating why cops shouldn't pursue criminals as hard if helicopters are present.
If the victim of the crash doesn't have anything more than, say, liability insurance, is anyone covering the repairs? I know insurance companies find whatever reason they can use to not cover repairs, so...
Please answer.

Like in Michael Bay highway scenes where everything else is blowing up while the chase goes on

Re: What happens to innocent victims of police pursuit crashes?
It seems most of the high speed chases happen in California. For a while there it seemed like there were way too many innocents involved in these high speed chases, and the cops, troopers, highway patrol, whatever had to adjust there chase rules. I remember as a kid, seeing 5.0 Mustangs and 5.7 Camaros driven by the CHP in these chases, now they are gone.
