Private property accident

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas

Stepson was recently involved in an accident in his college parking lot. He does not have a driver license and is not on our insurance policy. He was cited for failure to yield, no license, and no address change on state id card? But we are not convinced he was actually at fault in this. He did not have permission to take car but officer said that we will probably be cited as well for letting him drive. How do they decide who is at fault in something like this and what kind of reprecussions can we expect from this? Does this affect his ability to get a license? Can we be sued? I'm totally at a loss on this one and could really se any advice anyone has.

well, since we have no idea the specifics of the accident, how they determined fault is impossible to even guess.


are you claiming he stole your car? You have choice of that or at least, tacit consent. How was it he had your car with him at his college?

Does this affect his ability to get a license?

possibly

Can we be sued?

yes but depending on your actions that may have allowed your son to drive, you may or may not be found liable at some level.

Why do you think the college property is private property, or that the streets on the college are treated as private roads?
