No, why would they be unless it was a company vehicle? If it was your fault, your companies insurance would pay, if it was someone elses fault, they would be held responsible. No reason to pass off blame to someone who wasnt in the car with you, should have been paying attention.
CAREFUL! You may still be liable for a charge of "leaving the scene." To have had an "accident" generally implies that you struck SOMETHING. What is it that you struck, who owns it, and did you notify them?
Yes. Any accident that happens on the job is defacto job related. If your employer argues, consult legal aid.
Well, you'll be liable for the loan, but that's about it, unless you had something to to with the so-called "accident" (which is rarely accidental, and more often the result of negligence).
The person that is responsible for the accident.
If a person leaves the scene of a car accident in Nebraska, she or he can be liable for a fine of up to $1,000 and one year in jail. If there was an injury, the penalty could be more severe.
Well as described, I would say everybody is irresponsible! Generally, an employee acting on the commands of his employer makes the employer liable for those actions - more likely "also" liable - so the employee may not be entirely in the clear, albeit less of an attractive target.
You could be liable yes.
The owner of the car is liable for the accident itself and the damage. However, the insurance company might have to pay for it, depending on the owners insurance cover.
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.
If you were not moving at the time of the accident then you are not liable, but your leaving the scene may post legal problems as a hit and run.
You will still be liable unless you can prove the vehicle failure was due to a recall problem or your mechanic did something wrong.
A hit and run is considered to be rather serious in any state. You can be held liable for the damage to the sign and be charged with leaving the scene of an accident.
