    In this episode of The Art of Adjusting®, William and Chantal dive into a listener's question about liability coverage for stolen vehicles and expand the discussion by exploring related topics from various Reddit subreddits focused on the insurance claims industry. They break down the key question of whether a vehicle owner is liable for bodily injury or property damage caused by a thief, explaining that liability typically doesn’t apply since theft is an illegal act. However, they also clarify how comprehensive or collision coverage might come into play for damage to the stolen vehicle.

    Drawing on insights from Reddit, they tackle questions about the claims process, subrogation, and the pursuit of restitution from at-fault parties. They also explore the concept of negligent entrustment, emphasizing the importance of listing regular users on an insurance policy to avoid disputes.

    With its blend of expert analysis and real-world scenarios, this episode offers practical advice for adjusters, policyholders, and anyone navigating the complexities of stolen vehicle claims. Tune in to hear how industry professionals approach these challenges and to gain a better understanding of coverage and liability in these situations.
