My son got into an accident with a car registered in my name, am I held liable?

The laws surrounding this matter vary by state. Generally speaking, if your son is a teenager and has had prior accidents and/or speeding tickets, you would more than likely be held liable for negligent entrustment. If he is above the age of 18, in certain states the liability can be passed onto yourself as well and both you and your son can potentially be sued, while other states the liability may be held only on the driver. You should consult with a Car Accident Attorney in your state who can review your insurance policy and the laws surrounding car accident liability matters.
