It will always come back to the driver. Even if you borrowed the car off someone, and there was a problem with the car, it is the drivers responsability to check the vehicle before driving it. If there was a brake failure due to poor maintenance or something it might be able to come back on the owner, but 90% it will be the driver that is responsible.

If your 19 year old son gets into an accident but is not insured, typically he is the one responsible for the accident, as he is considered an adult. Depending on the circumstances, the owner of the car may also be considered liable for any costs resulting from the accident. The details of the law varies from place to place.
If you rear ended someone and no police report was made but a week later the other driver demanded 600 dollars for damages do you have to pay?
The person who is responsible for the accident should accept that responsibility and place a claim with their insurer or make a written agreement with the damaged party to reimburse them for their loss. The problem is in this case the "at fault" driver has no way to determine if the amount requested is valid. The "at fault" driver should under no circumstances render any monies until valid proof of damages and agreement on the amount that is to be paid has been submitted in writing and signed by all involved parties (driver of vehicle during accident, owner of vehicle, etc.).
