Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

I don't see how father could successfully sue you, since I presume he was not involved in the accident and since he wasn't a party to your agreement with the son. The son may still be able to sue you, however, if the release you had him sign did not contain some key language that a lawyer would have included.

It all depends on the language you put in the release. If there is a clause that the son will indemnify you from any claims brought against you by other persons, you are safe for sure. It also can be argued that the son, as one of the title holders on the car, acted on behalf of all owners of the car. You are probably OK.
