In September, I sold my car to my sister. When I got the title signed and I took the insurance off the car my sister said she already had her own insurance on the car. A month later, she was in a car accident that was her fault. However, I received a letter stating that I will be sued for the accident because my name somehow came up on the vin# of the car. Is there anything I can do to prevent getting sued?
If you did not register the new title with the DMV, you are probably still the registered owner of the vehicle. Since the insurance follows the car and not the driver, you are most likely the one liable as the primary insurance and your sister secondary, if she indeed had insurance.
