More details to this question:
I recently purchased a car from a dealership. It was late in the day and I did not have insurance. I left the dealer with dealer plates on the car and dealer insurance. I was instructed to come back the next day and get insurance. I was in an accident on the way home and am now being sued by the other motorist. Is the dealer responsible?

If the title changed to your name, it I'd on you.

If the car was titled in your name before you left it is yours and depending on other facts the dealership might also.

The person at fault for the accident. If that person has insurance, they are protected up to the policy limits.
