Am I liable if my senior parent has a car accident?
This question comes up occasionally. The answer is generally, no.
However, there may be liability if you own, provide, or maintain the automobile for a senior parent, or if you allow a senior parent drive your vehicle and know or should know that the senior parent’s ability to operate a motor vehicle is diminished.
This is a short and simple answer, not a substitute for legal advice. Contact an attorney for advice about your circumstances.
