Legal Question in DUI Law in California

If you are on title to the car he was driving, you are personally liable in a lawsuit. There is normally a limit of $15/30k on non-driving registered owners, but if the victim can show you allowed a drunk to drive, that limit can be overcome, leaving you fully jointly liable. Hope you have good insurance on the car. Turn it over to them. Otherwise, hire a good defense lawyer to negotiate or litigate the best outcome he can get for you. If serious about hiring counsel, feel free to contact me.

If there is a judgment against him, any community property can be levied against, including real property, bank accounts, etc. You'll then have to fight it out in court to defend the property from levy.
