A: It's a possibility that you're covered as long as you don't meet an exclusion on the actual policy from the person's policy of whomever gave you permission. I wouldn't worry about exclusions from your "own" policy unless the at fault party doesn't have valid insurance.

A: Yes, the at fault party who rear ended you will be responsible for compensating your medical bills and pain and suffering. It is important that you seek medical care for any injuries. Your attorney will work to collect all of the evidence, police reports, and medical records, so you can focus on healing. Schedule a free consultation to ensure you are fully compensated.
