Q: Will parents be protected from liability if adult daughter gets her own insurance?
Adult daughter will be attending college in CO. We live in OH. Car is titled and registered in her name in OH. If she gets her own car insurance, will we be protected from liability if she has an accident?
A: You should be protected from your daugther's negligence.
Dimitrios Makridis and Tim Akpinar agree with this answer
A: Yes, you should be. That's a good move. It might also be helpful to consult with insurance professionals in Colorado. Although auto insurance is fairly standard in many aspects nationwide, there are always twists and distinctions from one jurisdiction to another, since a good portion of auto insurance practices are governed by state law, and you may be talking about an Ohio policy in Colorado. Good luck
