Can You be sued for a accident You were involved in by some one not involved in the accident?
People can file a lawsuit against anyone. That does not mean that they will win. It will depend on your representation as well as if you are the legal owner of the car.
If you get in an accident and your car is registered to an address can the owner of the address be sued as well?
Cars are not registered to addresses; they are registered to individuals who reside at addresses. While it is possible that the person living at the address may have a lawsuit filed against them, if their only connection to the case is a mistaken address of the car owner, they have absolutely no liability whatsoever and the lawsuit will be summarily dismissed.
Can you find the insurance company of a vehicle in hit and run accident if you have the license plate number name and address of the vehicle's owner?
If you have identified the owner of the vehicle, just file a lawsuit against him. And while you're at it, swear out a criminal warrant charging him with leaving the scene.
Is a new owner responsible for a pending lawsuit that was incurred by the previous owners?
Not enough information: owner of what? Lawsuit about what?For example: If you're the new owner of a building that has violated some ordinance, then yes, you will probably be responsible. If it's a personal claim against the previous owner of property for some accident liability, then no, you are not responsible for what happened before. On the other hand, there may be a lien on the property because of the lawsuit filed, or you could have purchased an entire business with all of its assets AND LIABILITIES in gross, and good luck with that.
Can you have the insurance in your name but the car is registered to someone else?
Generally, no. The owner of the car must be the one on the insurance policy. In the case of a claim, the payment will be made to the owner and any lawsuit for damages will be filed against the owner. However, state laws vary and you should check the laws in your jurisdiction by calling a local car insurance agency or the DMV.Generally, no.

You live in ga but was passenger in a car in Florida whos ins pays for your injuries?
This question is not very clear. But a passenger cannot be held liable for injuries under most circumstances. Unless said passenger is also the owner or insurance policy holder of the car found at fault in an accident. Where you live, and where the accident occurred is irrelevant.
If a passenger in an auto accident owns a car but doesn't have PIP does the driver's PIP pay damages to the passenger?
The driver or owner will be responsible for the passenger's injuries. The passenger's PIP or medical insurance MAY pay the expenses if the responsible party is not insured, but will sue to recover the expenses.
Can a person who is injured during the accident ask payment for demages from the owner?
Yes.Added; If they file a claim against the driver/owner's insurance company, yes. In the absence of insurance (or if the amount is inadequate to cover the injuries) you can file a personal suit against the owner.

If a child was killed in a car accident where the driver did not own the car but the owner's daughter was a passenger who is responsible?
First of all sorry to hear of the child's death . Secondly get a lawyer If the driver was not the owner it would depend on the facts related in the accident . For example if the driver was not authorized to take the car or was speeding/drunk etc the driver would definitely be at fault . The owners daughter being a passenger should have nothing to do with who is responsible for the accident unless she contibuted to it . good luck
Can a person sue the owner of car when someone else is driving in an accident?
Yes, and this pretty much always happens in such a situation. While the owner was not driving and may not have been anywhere near the accident, a theory of the action against the owner is that he/she should reasonably have know not to allow the driver to take the car.
