Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

I was involved in a car accident in january where i was found at fault and I am uninsured. The car is registered under my brother but i took the car without his permission. He was at work and I do not have rights to use the car and took it without his knowledge. Now the other parties insurance are sending us both letters to pay up. Can my brother be sued for money even though he did not allow me to use his car?

Yes, unfortunately. Operators AND owners are responsible. And, if you did not have permission, his insurance will likely not pay on the claim.
