If you are in an accident in a rental car and you are not listed as the driver, you will be held personally responsible for all costs incurred for both parties. This would apply whether you are at fault or not!
The at-fault driver in a car accident is the driver who is determined to be primarily responsible for causing the accident.
The Driver
No. The driver is responsible.
Yes, you can potentially be sued if you are listed as a driver on someone else's insurance policy and the primary driver causes an accident. Liability typically extends to all drivers involved in the accident, and while the primary driver's insurance may cover damages, injured parties can pursue legal action against any party they believe is responsible, including you. It's important to understand your specific state's laws and the details of the insurance policy involved.
If the accident was caused by the uninsured driver than the uninsured driver is definitely still responsible.
the owner of the car with insurance will be responsible
If the driver with the suspended license caused the accident then he/she is responsible.
As long as this person is listed in the rental contract as driver, yes. However, if you allow someone else drive the car without been listed as driver nad this person gets in an accident, the rental insurance will deny the claim and you will be responsible for all damages.
No he have to listed as a second third or household driver for being cover by insurance
the driver that did the hitting and running ultimately is responable maybe not for the original accident but leaving the scene ,puts that driver in a world of hurt
As long as you are listed as a driver on the policy and an accident occurs in a covered vehicle, then yes you will be covered under the terms and conditions of the policy just as any other driver on the policy.
