What to do if Iwas at fault for a car accident and the car that I was driving was not insured but at the time I had my own personal liability insurance for my own vehicle?

Will I be responsible for damages or will my insurance cover me even though the car that I was driving was not on my policy?

Your own car insurance should cover you, but the way to be sure is to check the terms of you policy. An insurance policy is a contract; the insurer is obligated to provide that coverage--and only that  coverage--in the policy itself.
