What to do if my vehicle was involved in an accident and I was not present but I'm beig sued?
Question Details: The person driving was at-fault and the injured party is suing me in small claims court. Am I being wrongfully sued due to the fact I was not the at-fault driver?
You might be wrongfully sued, but I would have to get more information to properly advise you. An owner of a vehicle may be liable for "negligent entrustment" if he/she lends their vehicle out to a person who is either an incompentent driver or unlicensed. But do not ignore the lawsuit. If you get a default judgment entered against you, then it doesn't matter how right you are. You must defend the suit. I offer a free initial consultation and also offer very affordable options for those involved in small claims matters. Call me at your convenience.
