It's not so much that you're "liable" as it is a question of how this will affect the ratings on your insurance policy since you've included a 17-year-old who's had an accident on your policy. In that case, you would see an effect, most likely, depending on the severity of the accident. If you're wondering whether or not you will be personally responsible for a minor's actions while he is behind the wheel, that's specific to your state. If your son has an accident, though, and you have insurance coverage, your carrier will do what they can to protect you in case of bodily injuries, etc. If your son had an accident and you're not insured...it's a whole different ball of wax. Could you be held financially responsible for his actions? Probably, but that's more a question for an attorney.

Yes, but bear in mind that a person (driver) is not automatically liable just because there was an accident There must be actual injury and or damages and the driver must be determined "At Fault" for the accident. Otherwise there is nothing for them to be liable for.

More than likely you both can be held liable. Since you both were aware the car was uninsured. Depending on the laws of your state you may end up with fines and penalties also. It also depends whether your son was driving the car with your permission and whether your son is a minor. (Yeses make you more liable, noes less so.)

What are the ramifications for a mother who lets her adult son drive her insured vehicle In other words how will it affect her if he is at fault in an accident which causes a great deal of damage?
typcially all insurance stays with the car...meaning whomever is driving your vehicle (with your permission, and subject to any exclusions your policy may have)....is insured under the policy if they have an at fault accident, it affects THAT VEHICLE policy regardless of who is driving...so the ramifications are your son has an accident that is his fault...your policy is subject to increase, non renewal etc.
