Yes. The co-owner on the title is just as liable as a single owner would be. * No, the co-owner could not be directly sued for an incident of which he or she had no control over. The exception would be if the driver was a minor then his or her parents could be held liable. And obviously if it pertains to a married couple then both would be affected, to what extent depends upon the laws of the state where the accident occurred. * If your name is on the title, you are responsible for the vehicle and can be sued for damages no matter who is driving it. Actually, you CAN be sued if you have any relationship to the title, loan, or driver if you are the "deep pocket". The closer that relationship is, the more likely the suit will be successful.

If I had an accident in North Dakota, from which state should my lawyers be from?

Your insurance company will have attorneys appropriately licensed to handle the matter. If you have an accident in North Dakota but you are a resident of Florida, a Florida attorney can request permission to represent you provisionally (if you are on your own with no insurance). You would be responsible for the fee unless the case is one that can be taken on contingency. It depends on what state you reside in. Usually you can get an attorney in your own state to help represent you in another state.
