Under the law of negligent entrustment?
Under the law of negligent entrustment.....what? This isn't really a question. I can tell you that negligent entrustment generally arises when the owner of a motor vehicle entrusts it to someone who they know will drive it in an unsafe manner, causing a third party to be injured. In such cases, the owner of the vehicle, as well as the driver, can be held jointly and severally liable.

I was injured by a negligent driver and i wasn't covered by the insurance on the car i was driving?
Driving without InsuranceIf you were driving a vehicle without insurance, then Yes, You were a negligent driver in doing so. You were driving illegally.AnswerIf you have been injured by a negligent driver than you can definitely file a suit against the negligent driver for his suit. You will be awarded a benefit depending on the nature of your injury, and in proportion to the amount of fault assigned to the other driver. The other driver can also claim some benefits if some fault is assigned to you if he or any passengers in his vehicle are injured or the vehicle is damaged.However, you will be penalized for not having an insurance policy depending upon the state laws and provisions, since most states require certain limits for auto insurance which are mandatory. If you are living in a state where insurance or your financial responsibility is allowed than it would work in your favor if you can prove that you can meet the financial responsibility.
