Are you liable for someone getting hurt on your trampoline when they do not have your permission?
Sadly.... yes you are liable for someone getting hurt on any of your property. The rule of thumb is a property owner is supposed to exercise control over anything and everything that is on the property, including but not limited to: holes in the yard, cracked sidewalks, loose bricks, swing set, swimming pool, trampoline, etc. A person who uses your pool, swing set, or trampoline without permission could argue to the Court that the owner (you) should have known that a trampoline would have been an enticing attraction in a neighborhood and so, the owner should have taken precautions such as having a fence around the area with a locked gate. If the person trespassed (i.e. entered the property without permission), the Owner (you) could counter-argue that the person was trespassing. From Court television shows of small claims court lawsuits, the Judge could split the liability between the Owner and the injured party - especially if the injured party was over age 18. The Owner could argue anything from zero liability, to 50% liability, to a liability more against the injured party. Of course, the injured party will be arguing that the Owner should pay 100%.
If the Owner is sued, the Owner could also show documented proof (photos, repair bills) of any damages resulting from the unauthorized use of the equipment. For example, if the foot of a trespasser ripped the canvas away from the support bars on the trampoline, the Owner might be able to argue that the trespasser should pay for the repair or replacement if it cannot be repaired. Remember to either have at least 3 estimates to repair any damages, or bring the receipts for repairs already completed for damage the trespasser caused.
NOTE: This is NOT answered by an attorney, nor do I play one on TV.

If your son took your truck without your permission and caused an accident are you liable?
I believe that if he took the truck then he is liable for what ever happens to it, but on the other hand you didn't give him permission, then your liable because its your truck. Unfortunately I believe you need to prove he took it without consent, and that would involve pressing charges.

What happens if my car was driven by someone without my permission and he gets in an accident?
If they took your car without you permission, it is a vehicle theft. You would not be civily liable for an accident. Where the waters get muddied however, is if that person has driven the car with your permission in the past. He could use that as a defense in a criminal matter, because he could say that the permission to use the car "stands". It is doubtful you would incur any liabilty.
