The driver At Fault is liable for the collision, regardless of the other driver's actions post-collision. The fleeing driver may later be brought up on Hit and Run or Leaving the Scene of an Accident charges, but that will not change the at fault liability.

Do you lose your license if your car is in an accident with no insurance and you weren't there?

Yes, If you allowed your car to be driven by another while it was uninsured you can lose your drivers license and the other party can "Sue" both the Driver and You the owner jointly or separately for full compensation for any and all damages. As the owner of the vehicle it is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is covered regardless of who is driving it. You, the "Owner" are equally "Liable" under the law with the driver you allowed to operate the vehicle. If the vehicle was stolen you can file a police theft report and you would not be held liable for the accident.


Who is liable if a driver of a borrowed car backs into another car in a parking lot and drivers of both cars have misplaced their license and no report was filed?

What recourse do I have if the at fault driver will not contact his insurance company about the accident?

If this happened to me, I would find out what my insurance company can do and from there contact the police or file a civil or small claims suit. None, if the accident wasn't reported to the police.
