More details to this question:
I received a letter today from an insurance company stating that my vehicle was involved in an accident. I didn't know what they were talking about so I called them about and they told me the vehicle information. My boyfriend and I split 3 months ago. I gave him the car that his mother had bought it for him and didn't even to think about transferring the title over. He got into an accident (he says it was just damage to the car) was scared and drove off. The car was uninsured. What should I do now?

Don't worry about it. You were not driving and are not at fault. Good luck.

Only the owner of the vehicle and the driver can be liable.

This is just one of the many problems that arise when people live together, conjoin their lives and then change their minds. The owner and operator of a vehicle are responsible for the operation of the vehicle.
