There are 2 answers, with multiple categories each. 1st is "criminal" responsibility which includes whether the owner knew the driver had a license, their ability (impaired by drugs, alcohol, other) or what the owner knew was the purpose of the use of the vehicle (rob a bank or pick up groceries?). 2nd is "civil" responsibility. Depending on your country, state, or region. More often than not, it is the driver's sole responsibility for an accident, but that does not mean that the owner cannot be sued or that an owner's insurance wont decide to cover any damages or injuries.
