Legally the answer is crystal clear. If it was intentional? He is. Unintentional? You are.
I don't really see the comparison.

In any country in the World the answer should be "it can only be decided by a judge, nobody can tell a priori" In the case you tweak the software in your car and something happens, the justice system is there exactly to settle these kinds of issues. That's the comparison.
