What is the name of your state? Massachusetts
Back in March of this year, my 19 year old son was in an auto accident in Massachusetts and he was at fault. The other driver was injured, I’m not sure how seriously but I believe it was a broken ankle. My son, being a college student was on my policy at the time. I just received a letter from my insurance company stating that they cannot come to an agreement with the other driver’s lawyer on a settlement. They will only pay up to $20,000 according to the policy. The letter also said that they may sue me for more and if that happens, they will provide me with a lawyer. Since it was my son and not me responsible for the accident, how much trouble can I be in? What can they do as far as coming after me? Thanks.
