The vehicle used by the Changzhou car accident perpetrator is not his own. Does the owner still need to take responsibility?

Another major traffic tragedy happened. According to the traffic police detachment of Changzhou Public Security Bureau, on the morning of July 17, a bus lost control and knocked down many non-motor vehicles and pedestrians, causing serious casualties. The driver of the accident has been under the control of the police, but it is not the owner himself. Previously, Mercedes was sent to the garage for repair. The driver of this accident is an employee of the garage.

In this accident, the vehicle is in the repair period, so the main responsibility for the accident lies with the repairman who caused the accident, and the repair shop should also be jointly and severally liable. For car owners, fault liability applies. If the owner is at fault, he must bear the responsibility, such as letting the garage staff deliver the car knowing that it is not suitable for driving; If the owner is not at fault, he will not be held responsible. If the amount of compensation for the three risks is insufficient, you can sue the repair shop for compensation for other expenses. In addition, based on the principle of priority compensation for casualties, the original owner may not get compensation for vehicle damage due to serious casualties in this accident. Even if the vehicle involved in the accident is fully insured, the insurance company is also responsible for exemption from compensation: during the repair, maintenance and transformation of the business premises, the vehicle is exempt from compensation. In this case, the owner can only sue the repair shop and demand compensation for the loss of the vehicle.

Although not all vehicles are lent to others, the original owners are required to bear the responsibility. However, in order to avoid accidents, you can try not to borrow your own vehicle. Even if you can't shirk it, you should pay attention to two points: First, ensure that the borrower has a driver's license and the driving style is absolutely reliable; Make sure your car is in good condition before lending it to others!
