What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hello,
My brother is under the family insurance plan and he has liability only insurance on the family car. The car is registered in my and my dad's name.
He got into a car accident where he rear-ended the other driver. He was taken into county jail with BAC of 0.13% he is 22 years old
He is unemployed, he hasn't worked for over a year, and he uses and lies to my family to support his unemployment.
I personally don't care what happens to him, but I want to make sure that this doesn't cost my family any money.
He can take the DUI and keep it on his record, and do community service until it is paid off.
I need to know if the other driver has any legal precedent to sue my father or anyone else in the household if they find that the liability insurance doesn't cover all the damages.
I don't know what car he hit yet, and I don't know if the other driver was injured, from the damage it doesn't look like it was very serious. He is most likely going to be at fault, unless the other driver got a DUI too.
I would like to know how to proceed with this in order to save my family from spending any money other than repairing our car.
Also I would like to know how to avoid any potential legal problems resulting from him being on the family insurance plan, it being a family car with multiple registered owners, and him living with us (but not paying any rent)
I'm seriously considering removing him from the household, is this going to help resolve any issues?
Also is it possible to avoid insurance rate increases by removing him from the family plan?
Thanks,
