Suspension of Registered OwnerThe driver may believe the registered owner should be responsible and be suspended because the driver had no knowledge of the registered owner not having insurance coverage on the vehicle. The driver's request in this situation cannot be honored. It is the responsibility of the driver who was involved in the accident to show evidence of financial responsibility. The FR laws also apply to the registered owner.The registered owner of the vehicle involved in the accident will have his or her driving privilege suspended when there is no evidence of financial responsibility under the following conditions:The vehicle was a driverless runaway (Vehicle Code § 16001 ); orThe driver cannot be identified.A financial responsibility action is taken against the driver when the driver is known. If the driver cannot be identified in situations of hit and run, or uses false identification, and the registered owner does not identify the driver, the owner must then submit the required evidence of FR or his or her driving privilege will be suspended.
True. In most states, the Financial Responsibility Law requires drivers to have bodily injury liability insurance if they are involved in a crash where they are at fault and injuries have occurred. This insurance helps cover the medical expenses of the other party involved in the accident.
No, if their license was suspended they should not be driving, if they are involved in an accident and are at fault the other person can go after you since it is your car and then you are liable.
Actually, they are at fault, or so it's presumed - if their license is suspended, they shouldn't have been driving, hence, they should not have been there to have been involved in an accident. On top of that, they've voided their insurance policy by driving on a suspended license, so the expenses will likely end up coming out of pocket.
You will probably receive a citation for driving while suspended. If you were not at fault for the accident, the other party involved should have insurance that will cover your loss or damage that resulted in the accident. It is a good thing that you were not at fault in this accident.
the driver's license would be suspended.
If your license was suspended, and you were driving, it is quite likely that you insuror will NOT pay for the damages, and will cancel your coverage, because you were knowingly operating the vehicle unlawfully.

Insurance companies normally pay out according to who was "at fault" in the accident. A court may decide that breaking a traffic law, (driving while suspended), places you "at fault". If there is substantial money or additional traffic penalties involved you need a good lawyer to sort it out.
No, the parent isn't liable for the accident insofar as they weren't behind the wheel. But the minor probably won't have a license for a good long time.
