[QUOTE="sc98cbra, post: 15783961, member: 73814"] This. While attorneys do not normally go after the personal assets of parties found liable for motor vehicle collisions, it is possible. I've personally witnessed it happen in only one case. In that case, both of the insurance carriers for the at-fault driver denied coverage. The injured party had to go through his uninsured motorist coverage and sought to recover the excess judgment from the at-fault driver personally. Fortunately, for the at-fault driver, at least, it was only $2-3k out-of-pocket and did not require the forced-sale of personal assets. That's not correct in 95% of cases. Why would the parents be sued for the conduct of their son? For providing the instrumentality of injury? Unless there are facts supporting a negligent entrustment cause of action (e.g., son had a habit of drinking and driving, son was a terrible driver, had a lot of accidents, etc.), or unless the parents negligently maintained their vehicle, the parents wouldn't, and couldn't, be successfully sued.
