QUESTION
Why am I sued for a car accident that my son who is 22 year old was involved in?
Asked on Apr 26th, 2015 on Personal Injury - California
More details to this question:
My son was involved in an accident 3 years ago, on 4/12/2015 when he was 19 year old. One driver unsafely changed lane to the lane my son was on causing my son to lose control of his car and hit another car. My son was found 50% at fault of the accident. That car driver that my son hit is suing my son and me. We received the summon on 4/25/2015. Why am I being summoned though the car was not under my name and my son was an adult during the time of the accident?

The lawsuit should say why though you might need an attorney to make sense of it. Either you are alleged to be an owner of the car, his employer, or someone having him drive on your behalf, or it is unfounded.

Is your son on your insurance policy? Otherwise, I don?t know. In any event, turn it over to your insurance co. to defend.
