What Happens If You Get into an Accident with The Driver of a Stolen Vehicle?
This issue is important when there is an accident in determining which insurance policy will pay for the liability of the driver who is at fault if the driver is not driving his or her own car. Different states have different laws regarding whether the policy follows the car or the driver. In many states, a driver cannot be held personally liable (beyond their insurance policy) to pay for the fault of a driver using the owner’s car with permission. In other states, the owner can be held personally liable only if the owner was negligent in letting the driver use the car, such as the owner knew the driver was drunk or otherwise not reasonably fit to drive. This is called negligent entrustment. This could be a very important factor in deciding whether to loan your car to someone. Also, every insurance policy is different and has different limitations on who and what is covered under different circumstances.
