Q: MY wife wants off of insurance for car my son-in-law and I bought. She is an excluded driver. Can she be sued at all?
Just in case me or my son-in-law has an accident and they come after me. Can our house be taken or she be sued as well
A: Your wife is not a possible defendant just for being on the same insurance policy. She can be sued if she is he owner or operator of the vehicle.
A: Does she have any ownership interest in the car? If she does not, and indeed, cannot drive it, and has no ownership interest, and therefore is not in a position to tell anyone else they can drive her car, then no liability would attach to her.
