The operator of a car is most immediately liable for damages that result from operation of the vehicle. The owner of the car retains liability when permitting use of the car by others. However, if the person using the car does not have a license to drive, or is a minor, the owner retains greater liability because the owner should not then have permitted the use.

No you can not be liable for him using the address. It's just like when someone lives in an apartment complex if a tentant is involved in an accident the apartment complex is not at fault. His name is on the car title and on the policy. If he is the person driving then he would be the person responsible.

The person or company who provided the equipment used would be responsible.

If the accidental damage occurred on a road, the driver would be responsible unless the road was not maintained or the vehicle itself was faulty. The car manufacturer would be liable for damages. If the weather was to blame, insurance would have to cover the damages.

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.
