What to do if I was in an accidentand hit a car andit hit another vehicle that vehicle hit another vehicle?
I sold my vehicle in the morning and I went with the buyer to DMV to transfer the vehicle to his name and we paid for the fees. later that day I was supposed to take the vehicle to a mechanic to fix a problem that was agreed when I sold the vehicle. Later that day coming back from the mechanic I was involved in an accident that was my fault. The new owner had no insurance in place for this vehicle neither did I because I was not using this vehicle so I had cancel my insurance. Since I was at fault and the vehicle was no longer in my name should I use my insurance from another vehicle to cover me .

Good question. Most insurance policies that are placed by an individual not only cover the car but also the individual with respect to any car that he or she drives as to liability and damages caused by the insured driver.
Possibly you might be covered under your own insurance policy as an individual for the auto accident that you are writing about. I suggest that you report the incident to your insurance carrier right away and see what happens.
