i live in massachusetts. recently i went on a business trip and let a co-worker use my car while i was gone. on his way to pick me up from the airport on 2/11/01 (i wasn't even in the car), he was involved in an accident which he was cited for and found at fault. when i got home from the airport, there was a letter from my insurance company saying that they cancelled my insurance on 1/12/01. i was unaware that i had no insurance, but i was also told by my co-worker that he did have insurance (a lie of course). now we are being sued for damages to the other car ($2,250) and my car's damage was estimated at $10,000. the auto body guy told me that he has seen this before and that there a some sort of "good faith" law that i lent him my car in the good faith that he had insurance and if anything happened it would be covered, and that he should pay for everything. my co-worker says that it was my fault my car had no insurance and he will only pay half of everything. do i have a case that will stand up in court making him pay everything, or will i have to pay half in the long run?
