What happens if you rent a rental car with no coverage at all and it is totalled in an accident?

If you did not purchase the 'loss damage waiver' coverage from the rental agency and do not have your own insurance then you could be personally liable for any damage you caused to the rental car as well as any injuries you may have caused.
