Q: Last year I was in a car accent in my girlfriend's car ,
I gave the insurance in the vehicle and thought I was ok, come to find out the insurance car was from the previous owner of that vehicle, now I owe $10k in damages with no way to pay, what could happen to me
I've moved since the accedent ,I've been laid off and have medical bills for my son who has brain malformations. I'm in Texas. Can I be arrested?
A:
Who says you owe 10k?Did the girlfriend have newer insurance?Did the old owner's insurance still cover the car?Usually both owner and driver have responsibility.Don't see you being arrested, but issue is can they put a hold on your license.
You need to do a bit more work, and I'd suggest get the advice of an attorney who handles license issues.
