Ok here is the story. My ex wrecked my car about a month and a half ago, and since then we have broke up. She took my car one night to go see friends without my permission, and she is not listed as a driver on the car. I only had liability, so it didnt cover the damages. The car booked at 15k, and the damages were 10k. She was completely ok, no harm done to her.

When I arrived on the scene they asked if she was allowed to drive the car, just to make sure it wasnt stolen, and I said yes, even though i didnt give her permission that night because I didnt want her to go that particular evening. I only told them she had permission becuz I didnt want her in trouble at the time....now we arent together and I have no car, and no money to pay for one. Is it possible to sue her for either the book, or the damages done to the car? Thanks in advance!
 
Sure, you could sue her. Whether she will be liable to pay is another matter. How did the accident happen? Was she at fault? What does the police report say? Do you want to open the can of worms of allegations getting back to your insurance company that you lied about her permission to drive?
