In California it is illegal to be without car insurance. When you borrow something it is your responsibility while in your care.
That's why I never borrow anything. I learned the hard way.
My ex borrowed a chainsaw that was old and on it's last leg.
It burned up while he was using it, so we had to buy the person we borrowed it from a new one and we still didn't have a tree saw!

Depending on the Coutry your vehicle accident happened in.
For example in the USA all drivers are required to carry proof of insurance in the vehicle, it is up to the driver to make sure it is present in the vehicle before operating it.
If you are in the USA then there really is no excuse.
If you are in Europe then you should have asked the vehicle owner for a copy of the insurance certificate or provided your own.
If you are in Australia or New Zealand, I believe their laws are similar to some of the European Countries.
If you are in an Asian Country I believe that is similar to the USA rules.
So it all depends which Country you were driving the vehicle in.
For the most part, the driver of the vehicle is responsible for any uninsured damage caused.

Federal law stipulates that all vehicles on government roads have to have insurance. However, the onus falls upon the driver of the vehicle to make sure that the vehicle has insurance. I am sure a driver check-es the gas and breaks be for driving a strange vehicle. Catch 22. Both are in trouble.

the owner should have checked the driver needs the insurance but weather driver insured or not They needs to stand up and take responsible for their actions. That is part of being an adult

The car was not DAMAGED because the owner had no insurance. The car was DAMAGED because your friend drove it into a deer.
The responsibility to pay for damage to a vehicle rests SOLELY with the person who caused the damage.

No insurance? Oh dear, that is her fault, I wouldn't even give her a venison steak, if she didn't even tell you about it. Poor friend.
