Who is liable when an accident occurs in a car share vehicle depends on the person at fault for the accident and the laws of the state where it occurs. Usually, the party whose driving leads to the accident is the party who is legally liable. State laws regarding negligent car accidents and vehicle liability stay the same even when car share vehicles are involved.
However, when an accident involves a car share vehicle, there are additional contractual obligations between multiple third parties. Drivers, occupants, car share owners, the car share platform, and their respective insurance companies may all be involved in sorting out legal liability for a car share accident. In states that use a no-fault system, victims may have to recover from their own insurance if their injuries are minor.
