Legal Question in Insurance Law in Virginia

Car stolen while keys were accidently locked in car

I accidently locked my keys in my car and while I went to retreive the spare set, the car was stolen. I had no theft insurance but I did have liability. If the person that stole the car hurt someone while driving my car, am I liable, and if so will my insurance cover me?
