Question

Man wrote off my car driving into the back of me now the light on courtesy car has been broken, am I liable

Answer 1

No they should claim it off the guy who went up the back of you

COYS!!!

Sorry mis read the question, dont think your liable they should be insured for anything like that on thier cars

Answer 2

Did you take out insurance when you got the courtesy car?

Answer 3

It depends how it was broken but you should have insurance.

Answer 4

The company lending you the car should have transferred your existing insurance onto their car so you can drive it legally, any claims should get added on to the original claim. It should be claimed by your insurers off the insurers of the person who who ran into you.

Answer 5

My understanding is that if someone goes into the back of you then they are liable always. The company that provided the courtesy car will have the correct insurance for you. If you'd gone into the back of him then you'd be liable.  

Answer 6

A  big yes. But don't claim of the insurance as it will cost you more than the light cost. Excess it called.

Answer 7

Yes, you are liable. If someone leaves something your possession, it is your responsiblity to return it in the same condition that you recieved it. If you can find the person that caused the damage, then you can sue them for your lost.

Answer 8

What do you mean by broken?

If it's theft or accident damage, you should have transferred your insurance to cover it in these circumstances.

If there's a mechanical fault, then it's not your car, so it's not your problem. Give them a ring & ask them to replace it.
