Legal Question in Traffic Law in Florida

I sold a truck to my son who is 18 and now lives with his mother in July 2011. We both signed the title and I made a copy of it. I just found out that he has not yet had the title transferred to his name and that he has been driving without insurance. We live in Florida and I would like to know if I can be held legally liable if he has an accident.

Yes you could, but you need to let your insurance know as soon as possible, if you haven't already. The owner of the vehicle is usually liable unless you relinquish all rights to it, which it appears you have. However, you need to do all you can now to avoid any possible misunderstandings in the future.
