A friend drove my car and totaled someone's elses car...i had no insurance who's liable for the wreck? |
this car is my deceased mother's and the tital is not in my name at the present. From what I've seen on The Peoples Court, there are 3 people that are responsible for the damages, as a whole. You are - it is your possession. It is illegal to drive without minimum insurance. you let him use it, you both are liable. YOu have a big time mess here. First you better get the person who does own the car involved. 2nd the fact they have no insurance is going to put them in hot water and possibly make them legally responsible for some of if not all the damages depending on local law. Next the guy who caused the accident is going to get sued as well. You, in fact, may be the ONLY ONE HERE who may not get sued; you don't seem to have a financial or physical interest based on what you told us In the US, a ticket follows the driver and insurance follows the car........................you are responsible. You just said it's your car. OK, you'll probably be sued for negligent entrustment, and your friend will be sued for negligence. Your mom's estate may even be sued. Hope that your friend has insurance to pay everything. Otherwise, you'll be hiring your own atty and paying all the medical bills and other costs of the accident. And get insurance today (which is mandatory in every state). the owner is liable. since the title isn't current you will probably get a huge fine on top of everything else.. |
