Since he is an adult you can only be sued if you are on the policy or part owner of the vehicle.
If the parents own the car then yes. If the adult child owns the car then no.
If you have a living trusts and an umbrella insurance policy can the trust be sued in an auto accident.
no, his own policy will cover him.A2:Yes, you can be sued any time for anything. If you are sued for something that an adult child did there is a good chance that they will not prevail against you. Chances that you will end up paying improve if some of the following conditions can be shown to have existed:The adult child was in your employment and was operating the vehicle as an employee;You caused the adult child to have the wreck;The car that the adult child was driving suffered a mechanical failure from an improperly performed repair that resulted in his loss of control and you were the one who performed that repair;You served alcohol to the adult child and allowed him to drive while impaired.

Actually, I think her parents are responsible for any damages because she a minor, so the parents the ones who will be sued or have to pay for any damages of the minor child.
If they are the child's legal parent yes. The only way that they might be unresponsible is if the other parent had sole physical and legal custody. If they have joint custody but the child lives most of the time with the other parent they are still responsible.

Custody would not be a factor at all in this case because your child is a legal adult.
In the US, at least, you can be sued for just about anything. I'm uncertain as to exactly how you could not know someone was on your insurance policy, though.
No, you cannot be directly sued for insuring your child's car. However, if your child causes an accident while driving the insured car, you and your child could be sued for any damages or injuries caused. Insurance helps to mitigate financial liability in such situations.
Yes, the owners of the vehicle (and driver of course) are the ones sued, it has nothing to do with who is the named insured on the insurance policy.
