If you let your friend drive your car and he crashes and hurts someone, who's responsible?

Question:
Car owner has insurance? Would it matter if your friend, the driver, has insurance?

Answers:

I have a 1983 Nissan King Cab... it runs really good but I always put the supreme gas in from Chevron?

u are both responsible. car is registered in ur name, and the cops will see this right off the bat. if he isnt licensed, he's gonna go down real hard; no license, either failure to control or right of way, and driving without insurance.
u will wind up going down for knowingly letting an unlicensed person drive, and the car he hit is gonna come after the both of u big time.
if this accident involves alcohol, ur gonna get a major azz reamin for sure.

The injured parties could conceivably come after both of you. Most insurance policies cover the driver regardless of what vehicle he/she is driving or who owns it, so they could go after your friend's insurance company. However, it's your car, registered in your name, and also insured by you, so they could file a claim against your insurance company as well. If the injured party was badly injured and gets a good lawyer, your insurance company can expect a call...
