Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Illinois

Re: Auto Liability

The victim can sue the person who drove the car and the person whose name is on the title of the car.

I hope this helps,

Re: Auto Liability

I disagree with Attorney Taradji. Depending on the facts, a person can be liable for negligent entrustment of a vehicle. If you knew that this driver was dangerous driver and you provided a car to him you and an accident happened, you could be held responsible. In theory, if he was a known dangerous driver and you provided him cash for the sole purpose of buying a car, the doctrine of negligent entrustment might be extended to cover such facts. However, I am unaware of any Illinois case that has extended the doctrine of negligent entrustment that far.
