Will they sue me, the insurance company or my boyfriend?? |
I have 2 cars under my name on my insurance policy. My boyfriend sometimes drives one of my cars. He is not listed as an active driver under the policy ..just me. My boyfriend just had an accident and it was his fault he hit someone. Will the other person sue him or me or my insurance?? and will I get in trouble for letting him drive the car?? You are allowed to let someone borrow your car. You don't have to list everyone who borrows your car on your insurance. If that was the case, we would have some serious paperwork issues. No you are not going to be in trouble for letting him drive, BUT unless you want to commit insurance fraud you are going to have to pay for the damages on both sides because the insurance won't cover it They will sue your insurance...which may drop you and you may have difficulty finding coverage...If they sue outside of insurance they will sue your boyfriend, not you......I have PERSONAL experience with this one. They will go after the BF. If he has no insurance, then they will go after you under the theory that you entrusted your car to someone that you knew was unsafe ( a difficult task). If your insurance co finds out that he regularly drove your car, they will deny coverage to you for the damage to your car, but not if it was occassional. Your insurance co is not liable for the damage caused by the bf. From a lawyer. They will sue you for negligently entrusting your auto to him and sue him for ordinary negligence. You don't sue insurance companies in auto accidents, you sue the parties at fault. In fact, lawyers can't even mention that anyone has insurance. When you get sued simply call your insurance company and give them a copy of the lawsuit that will be handed to you. The insurance company defends you for free, they make the decisions on whether to fight or pay and you have no say about it. Hope this helps. Watch out for advice from non-lawyers. Depends. Does your boyfriend have his own insurance policy? They will sue you both. Him for his negligence. You because you own the car. They'll also say you were negligent when you loaned him the car. |
