The at-fault driver is always the one who is liable. The insurance company get involved because the driver has a contract between him and the insurance company by why of his policy. It is possible to go after the at-fault driver personally in an amount beyond that of his policy limits. This can get complicated and you should have an attorney. If you still have questions, your free to call. 843-828-1137 or 888-789-1137
