In most states, including california, the opwner of the car can be held liable for an accident caused by a person they loaned the car to. If a car is loaned to a person who then loans that cars to someone else, who then causes an accident, can all 3 be held liable?

More specifically, along similiar lines, if one person owns a car, but a second non-owner borrows for an extended period and gets the car insured for themselves, then loans that car out to someone else who causes an accident, can that insured non-owner be held liable for the accident caused by the person they loaned it to?

Strange question, I know, but it is a reality in my case and can not seem to find the answer online?

Thanks for any help,
Jason
