Okay let's start with the first part of he question. If you were hit by some one driving the car of another with their permission you would generally sue both parties: driver and the owner, just to be sure. As for the umbrella policy, your injuries would have to exhaust the primary coverage first to be able to collect from it. It is a policy for major claims. Good luck.
