A: Investigators are generally able to identify those things, but in the absence of injuries, building/property policies could sometimes offer higher policy limits than vehicle policies carrying minimum statutory limits. Good luck

A: Your question is a bit unclear. If you are talking about discovering the "worth" of the party that caused damage to your condominium, you can always perform an asset search on the party to find out if it owns any real property, etc. An asset search will not, however, tell you have much $ the other party has in the bank. For that you'd need an actual money judgment against them.
