Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
"I and my girlfriend have the same car insurance but we are not married . Last year she was involved in a auto accident , my insurance limits is 15,000 per person and 30,000 per accident . Well it appears that people she hit will try to sue me but I do not see how they can sue me because we are not married and she was the sole owner of that vehicle. My insurance company told me that there loop holes in the law that say they can sue me just because we live together but California law does not recognize common law marriages . So my question is can those people sue me ?"

If you are a co-owner of the vehicle involved, that is all the basis needed. Owners of vehicles are equally responsible for accidents caused by different drivers.
And, it makes sense to sue you if you are an additional party listed on the insurance policy, as they are suing on the policy, presumably.
In the end, as long as a minor accident within the policy limits, give it to your insurance company, and you'll be taken care of.
