Re: being sued for childs car accident
Did your parents own the car? Did they let your sister use it? If she was driving her own car (in other words, the car is in her name), than she will be sued. Your parents insurance will pay any claim and defend your sister if she is insured under the policy. If she was driving your parents car, then they are a proper party to the lawsuit, but the insurance will defend them as well.
