Question:
I probably shouldn't even be asking this. If I were to help someone out by accepting the title to a vehicle for the sole purpose of attaining vehicle registration and renewal of tag---- what responsibility would I be accepting along with such ownership? I would not insure or drive this vehicle, but as far as I know I would be vulnerable. or assume, rather, any and all liability for damages arising from accidents or any other type of violations involving this vehicle. I am basically wanting to know WHO is responsible -- the driver --- the owner --- both?? Is this determined depending on State laws. I would like this person to clearly understand WHY I cannot put myself in such a position.

What happens when driver leaves the scene of an accident?
If your name is listed as the registered or legal owner of the vehicle, you have full responsibility for anything regarding that vehicle, legally, you wouldn't have any sort of defense,as to why you allowed someone with a poor driving record to have access to or to drive your vehicle. The person is without a license for a reason, it may not be a reason either of you believe to be true, but for the facts, that person did/did not follow the standard rules of the road, and they aren't supposed to be driving. Failing to obtain insurance laws would come into play, if a wreck happened...well, let's not get into how many dollars it could cost you, possibly bankrupt you. When you share a title to a car, a deed to a home, you are accepting ownership, when you signed the documents used to title/register the car, you signed that the statements were true. You are irresponsible, but very responsible for anything happening in the future.Can an auto expert recognize, from the damage, how an accident occurred?

Normally, the driver of a vehicle is liable for damages in an accident.

In fact, the owner could be liable if they allowed the driver to use the car in a negligent manner.IS THERE A STATUE OF LIMITATIONS ON A CAR lien?

In some states, the owner of the car is completely responsible for damage in any accident. Yes, it depends which state.http://www.4carinsurancequotes.com/claim...
As the owner of the vehicle, you are absolutely responsible for any & all liability arising out of the use of that vehicle. You said that you will not insure it? If you are the owner of the vehicle, the insurance HAS to be in your name. You CANNOT insure something you DON'T own, so the driver CANNOT insure it. If he does, the policy is void. So, if that is the case & he has an at fault accident, you are on the hook for all damages (to both vehicles and/or other property damage - pole, tree, house) plus all bodily injury. That means, if you have any assets, they are all on the line. Depending on the State, you can either lose your house or you can have liens put against your house (which will have to be paid to get a refinance or when you sell), lose all your savings & investments (I don't know if they can touch retirement) & if that still doesn't cover a court award, then they can attach your wages until the award is paid in full. You could end up paying for this for the REST of your life. Why would someone even ask? Are they that selfish & irresponsible to put you & your life savings on the line for their own gain? I'm sorry, if anyone asked me to do this, they would be out of my life so fast their head would swim. I don't care who they are to me (even a relative).
