Who Pays After a Car Accident: Owner or Driver?

In this LawCall Panama City episode, the attorneys at Perry & Young explain what happens when the at-fault driver and the car’s owner are not the same person. They discuss how liability works, what it means if the owner’s insurance has lapsed, and why collecting compensation can sometimes feel like “squeezing blood from a turnip.” The key takeaway: you can sue without insurance being involved, but getting paid depends on who actually has assets or coverage.
