legal type question.....

You left off an option: BOTH

There are folks that take the tactic of suing everybody and then get what they can in court from anyone and everyone.

yeah, im actually looking at buying a car while im here, but i dont have residency here, so its going to be a PITA to try and get it registered, so i asked a relative if they would put it in their name, with me paying the bill, i would insure it, and drive it, but he was worried about liability if i got in a wreck, not that i make a habit of it, my record's clean, but "what if".

They're going to sue both but, in the case of a high school kid, they don't have anything, so the owner(parent) is going to get sued and have to pay... alot.

In Colorado, insurance follows the car, not the driver. That's why you have "rated drivers" on your policy. Gives the insurance company an out if someone "unrated" is commonly driving the car.


My guess is both, and they see where the chips fall.

The reality is that the lawyers are going to go after both parties in an effort to make sure their clients get the best possible deal.

Looks like I agree with most everyone else - both parties would typically be sued: The driver for negligent/careless behavior; The owner for ANY safety/hazardous condition the plaintiff's attorney could claim for the auto.

PhLOater - did you play pro ball somewhere?
