Bear in mind that under permissive use rules in your states insurance regulations, the Vehicle Owner also is jointly and severally liable for the full cost of an accident in the owners vehicle. The owner of the vehicle has the first position of responsibility to ensure that permitted drivers are covered.
AnswerYES. They can look forward to giving all their assets to whomever their child injures. Bank accounts will be emptied. Their home will be taken and wages will be garnished until the injured party is fully compensated. That 17 year old has just thrown away everything that his/her parents have been working for! Look forward to moving into a homeless shelter.Wiki User

What would happen if a friend lets you borrow his insured car and you get into an accident but you do not own a car or have insurance?
I believe most insurances will cover the damages if the car is insured and you have a license, but if you do not have a license the insurance will not cover anything you are both liable. Your friend is liable for loning you the car without a license and you are liable for driving it.

No, the parent isn't liable for the accident insofar as they weren't behind the wheel. But the minor probably won't have a license for a good long time.
What happens if in an accident not your fault but you do not have a license?
Fault in the accident will not be affected by the status of your drivers license. Therefore, the person who is at fault will be responsible for damages and his insurance will pay. You will, however be liable for the fine and ticket you will receive for driver without a license. The important point to remember is that if you had been at fault, you would be liable to pay for the repairs of the other persons car as well as for any medical expenses, loss of wages, and permanent injuries.
What if you are already injured and have a car accident is the insurance still liable?
Depends on your condition

Who would be liable if you were driving a friend's vehicle and got into an accident and they did not have insurance?
The driver's insurance would then be considered "secondary," meaning if the owner of the auto didn't have insurance, then if the person driving the car had insurance, they would be liable.
