The law clearly states, every vehicle owner needs to ensure that any other person is licensed, not intoxicated and capable to operate the vehicle before releasing the vehicle into another driver...
No other ways around it. Even worse, the owner's insurance company will NOT cover any damages in this case, making the registered owner solely responsible for all damages, personal injuries, etc.

Maybe. Did the unlicensed driver have your permission to be operating the car when the accident occurred? If so, maybe not.
What happens if someone unlicsensed but a cosigner drives my car?
It's illegal to drive without a driver's license, so if they get caught, they could be arrested. Your insurance may not cover the car if you allow an unlicensed driver to drive it, so if there's an accident, you will probably have to pay for it. Basically, don't let an unlicensed driver drive your car, even if they are the co-signer.
