As an agent for many years, I have had clients who have had some experience with this.
It depends on the leasing contract, according to
my understanding. With some contracts, a person leasing a vehicle can be held responsible
for all of the lease payments till the end of the term of the lease.

I had one client who had an accident and the leasing company repossessed the car plus held
him responsible for the rest of the payments under the lease.

I felt I probably could have assisted him in successfully negotiating something better, but he
was a young man and he chose to just disappear and not follow through.
