More likely, such unsafe acts were being performed all along and this time circumstances came together to create an accident. Because of the repetitive nature of the unsafe act, the responsibility is the supervisor's for failing to note and correct inappropriate activity, or failing to establish an environment where doing that unsafe act was unacceptable to the workforce.
If the accident happened due to unsafe condition, it is the responsibility of the supervisor who is supervising the job.
If a person who sues you was the person responsible for the accident, they have little chance of winning the claim. But they have succeeded in scaring you, reducing the chance that you will sue them. It looks like you must counter-claim, and say that you are waiting for the outcome of the court-case on the ticket for the accident. If they are found guilty of causing the accident, no court will hold you responsible for their damages.
IT IS ILLEGAL IF YOU CAUSED THE ACCIDENT OR IF YOU ARE DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERSON OR PERSONS INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT, SUCH AS A PARENT, WIFE, HUSBAND, IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBER.

This type of fee arrangement is known as a contingency fee, where the attorney's payment is contingent on winning the case or obtaining a settlement. It allows clients to pursue legal action without upfront costs, as the attorney only receives payment if the case is successful. However, the percentage of the recovery that the attorney receives as a fee can vary and should be agreed upon in advance.

You as the driver are responsible for any crash you cause in this case. If you were told the car was insured and can prove it you could sue the lender for reimbursement.
It's not so much that you're "liable" as it is a question of how this will affect the ratings on your insurance policy since you've included a 17-year-old who's had an accident on your policy.

If you're wondering whether or not you will be personally responsible for a minor's actions while he is behind the wheel, that's specific to your state. If your son has an accident, though, and you have insurance coverage, your carrier will do what they can to protect you in case of bodily injuries, etc. If your son had an accident and you're not insured...it's a whole different ball of wax. Could you be held financially responsible for his actions? Probably, but that's more a question for an attorney.
