McLaughlin borrowed her roommate's car just to take her mother to the hospital. While delivering her mother at the hospital, McLaughlin met an old friend who needed a ride to a neighboring city. While carefully driving slightly below the speed limit on the interstate, McLaughlin was hit head-on by a car driven by a drunk driver going the wrong way. Miraculously, McLaughlin and her passenger survived, but the car was totaled. Explain whether McLaughlin has any liability for the damage to her roommate's car.

Ideally, the drunk driver who hit them while he was driving on the wrong lane is liable for the damages and not McLaughlin since he was sober and civil.

Explanation:

Liability for damages resulting from car accident usually falls on a negligent driver an din this case, McLaughlin is not the negligent one.

However, the situation is tricky here since he is not the owner of the car.

The majority of car accidents are caused by driver negligence, poor road conditions, or a problem or defect with one of the automobiles involved.

If his friend has a car insurance, that will cover for the damages as well.

And if the drunk driver finds a way to escape with a strong case, and in the absence of a car insurance, McLaughlin might be obligated to pay for the damages since the car was borrowed.
