Generally, they have 2 years. If they were minors (under age 18) they have until 2 years after their 18th birthday. If the car had insurance, and you had the owner's permission to drive it. You should report the accident to both his and your car insurance company. Failure to report the accident, can cause the insurance company to decline coverage due to late notice.

If you were driving without insurance, or without the consent of the owner, you face potential criminal problems. I am not a criminal lawyer, so I cannot address this paerticular issue.

If you are worried at all about the future consequences of this accident, you should definitely meet with a lawyer.
