Re: Accident

I THINK that I understand your question. You agreed to sell a vehicle to another person "on time", and when all the payments were made, you were to give him the title; in the mean time, he was supposed to provide and pay for a policy of automobile insurance. If this is the case, and no agreement was signed prior to the time you transferred custody of the vehicle to the erstwhile buyer, it seems to me too late now. As the old saying goes, the cow is already out of the barn.
