They can sue you both. One your friend is the driving and responsiable for the accident and two you own the car. Better get your check book out.

Am i liable if my son is in an auto accident?

Well this depends on a lot of factors. For one if he is under 18 yes, you are liable. He is a minor. 18 or older no, hes an adult. Now, if he is 18 or older and you are on the title, then yes you can be liable. Technically they can go after anyone on the title, even if you weren't driving. Mark Owner of Denvers Insurance

i have a renter and he is in the process of buying a new car..he asked me if he could use this address when geting car insurance. my question is if he were to get into an accident, would i in any way be liable with him using this address?

No you can not be liable for him using the address. It's just like when someone lives in an apartment complex if a tentant is involved in an accident the apartment complex is not at fault. His name is on the car title and on the policy. If he is the person driving then he would be the person responsible.


If a friend wants to buy your car but doesn't have the credit to get a loan and you keep the car loan and insurance and they pay you the car payment and insurance who is liable if there is an accident?

The person with the insurance. Never allow someone who isn't on the policy to drive the car. * The person who has their name on the title is primarily responsible, so since there is a loan on the car in your name, the title must still be in your name. If your friend crashes the car YOU will be responsible for HIS injuries as well as any damage and injuries to others. If you do not have his name on the policy as the primary driver and the insurance company finds out he was buying the car from you and driving it on a regular basis, they may refuse the claim AND prosecute you for insurance fraud. == ==

There is no such title as "The Legend of Zelda: Search for a Friend" coming out. While your question was written in 2009, it's impossible to tell what game released after it is, since no Zelda game has that as a title.


If your 21 year old daughter caused an accident minor damage title of vehicle in her own name but parents are listed as policy holders on this vehicle - are the parents liable in case of a lawsuit?

If there is a lawsuit, they will name the owner of the vehicle, your insurance company would more than likely represent you/your daughter. I do not think you can be held liable personally.
