Who is liable in a car accident where the driver at fault calls the police the other driver leaves the scene and no police report is filed?

The driver At Fault is liable for the collision, regardless of the other driver's actions post-collision. The fleeing driver may later be brought up on Hit and Run or Leaving the Scene of an Accident charges, but that will not change the at fault liability.

What happens if an uninsured unlicensed driver is driving your uninsured car and has an accident?
Bad things, will mostly likely get a few citation from police. If he is found to be at fault he could be liable for the damage.
Do the police give the other driver in an accident insurance information of another driver?
Yes.
If you are in an accident and you are issued a failure to yield right of way citation and in court the charge is dismissed can your insurance company still hold you liable as at-fault?
You do not have to be guilty of an infraction to be at fault. Driver "1" in the Police report is the "at fault" driver. Y-THINK-Y
Are you liable in a car accident if you did not receive a ticket?
yes,........ tickets are only issued if the police observe an infraction
Can you give me a sentence for the word liable?
The insurance adjuster denied Mack's claim, stating that according to the police reporting naming Mack as the cause of the accident, they were not liable to pay his claim.
If you live in Louisiana on the police accident report is driver 1 or driver 2 typically at fault?
The police arbitrarily chooses which car is considered Driver one and Driver two. You have to read the report to determine who is at fault.
What will happen if driver fell asleep and caused accident?
If it was you that fell asleep, you should go to the police before the police come to you.
Who do you sue when you had an accident with police officer and he got the citation?
You would normally name the police officer (driver) and his employer, e.g. the city or police department where he works.
If your in an accident and the other driver lies about not driving does that have any affects to the accident investigation?
I would let the police office know right away about this.
Do you lose your license if your car is in an accident with no insurance and you weren't there?
Yes, If you allowed your car to be driven by another while it was uninsured you can lose your drivers license and the other party can "Sue" both the Driver and You the owner jointly or separately for full compensation for any and all damages. As the owner of the vehicle it is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is covered regardless of who is driving it. You, the "Owner" are equally "Liable" under the law with the driver you allowed to operate the vehicle. If the vehicle was stolen you can file a police theft report and you would not be held liable for the accident.
Who is liable if a driver of a borrowed car backs into another car in a parking lot and drivers of both cars have misplaced their license and no report was filed?
The driver of the borrowed car, if at fault, would be liable in this case. If no report is filed, either with the police, or their insurance company, most likely no one would be held liable.
What recourse do I have if the at fault driver will not contact his insurance company about the accident?
If this happened to me, I would find out what my insurance company can do and from there contact the police or file a civil or small claims suit. None, if the accident wasn't reported to the police.
