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.

More than likely you both can be held liable. Since you both were aware the car was uninsured. Depending on the laws of your state you may end up with fines and penalties also. It also depends whether your son was driving the car with your permission and whether your son is a minor. (Yeses make you more liable, noes less so.)
