Depending on the situation and the location in which the accident happened, both the driver and the owner of the boat can be legally liable for damages caused. That's why it's always important to have boat insurance, and why it's equally important to be careful who you allow to drive your boat.

United Marine Underwriters provides boat insurance nationwide and has a comprehensive boat insurance guide that can answer a lot of other questions about coverage and miscellaneous details.

Who is liable if you have an accident and you have no insurance but the owner of the car you borrow has insurance?

Well in 2 different states that I have lived and worked in the insurance follows the vehicle not the person. If someone is letting you borrow there vehicle then they are accepting responsibility for your actions, therefore the accident would be covered on there policy. Of course I would check with state laws to make sure.

What would happen if a friend lets you borrow his insured car and you get into an accident but you do not own a car or have insurance?

I believe most insurances will cover the damages if the car is insured and you have a license, but if you do not have a license the insurance will not cover anything you are both liable. Your friend is liable for loning you the car without a license and you are liable for driving it.

The owner of the truck is liable for all damages and injuries as a result of an accident if found at fault. Normally these would be paid by the insurance company if there was an existing policy. Insurance policies are far cheaper than paying these expenses out of pocket.
