Luna & Lawnboy	The rental company, as a business, could be held vicarious liable for the damages to your vehicle, but it varies from state to state. In some states, the rental company could be held liable if they knowingly rented a vehicle to a driver with a poor record. The most common situation however, is employer/employee. If your insurer feels they can recover from the rental company, they will most certainly attempt to do so. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

animalsmagnitism	The liability lies with the driver , You sound like you want the rental companies deep pockets to sue.Let the police and your insurance handle it. You need to concentrate your efforts on healing up and returning to work. You will not make money off the accident. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

calipink22	The rental company IS liable. They are required to carry liability coverage on the rental truck. Your medical bills will be covered through their insurance. While it is the drivers fault, his insurance will not cover anything. Auto liability insurance does not transfer to rental moving trucks. You'll need to file a claim with the rental company. Depending on the company I can get you the information that you'll need to file a claim. Good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
