Legal Question in Personal Injury in Massachusetts

Absolutely. Not a good idea.

More likely than not.

Get the car registered and insured ASAP.

If he gets stopped by police, he could lose his license till he is 21.

Is there any connection with you to the vehicle ie ownership in any fashion? A plaintiff attorney would try to connect you to this where you were aware of his violations and took no action if he is still living at your house.

would they win- no sure but would certainly not be good for you in any instance

200 Merrimack Street, suit 202d

Haverhill, Ma 01830

Astute counsel above has pointed out you probably would not be ultimately held liable if your son were to get into an accident and the victim start suing people, including you. But you might well be forced to defend a lawsuit and likely you would be hiring an paying for an attorney yourself while the victim investigates whether you can be held liable. Your attorney that you would pay out of your pocket would have to prepare evidence and briefs to attempt to dismiss the suit against you. This is very expensive and you probably do not have the bargaining power of State Farm or Allstate to get reasonable rates and may not know who the good attorneys for that kind of case are in your area. You could easily spend $10,000 in fending off a lawsuit by your son's accident victim. It would probably be easier for you to do something about your son than to buy personal liability insurance. Good luck. Regards, JBS
