Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas
Auto Accident
An 18 year old friend of my daughter's drove my car without permission, had a terrible accident, damaged highway signs and guardrails, and killed a 14 yr old passenger. I (and my insurance co) are now being sued by the deceased's family and I just recieved a bill from the state for the cost of repairs to the structures. The driver isn't being held responsible at all. He was driving so shouldn't he be held responsible? At least for the bill from State of TX? Can I sue him for the amount of the bill?

Re: Auto Accident
Your insurance company has the first right to any recovery from teh 18 year old and they will sue him if they think he has any assets. You could sue but no lawyer would do it without payment and knowing what you recover goes to the insurance company before you....
