Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Ohio

Re: financial responsibilith

Dear Concerned Grandparents: Your concerns are well founded. By accepting financial responsibility for your Grandchild, you have done just that - assumed financial responsibility for any adverse event, including his failure to pay for the car.

You should insist that he have a valid insurance policy with a sizeable liability coverage, and include you, with your name, etc. on that policy as an additional insured.

I think it was Mark Twain who said that an accommodation party is an idiot with a pen!

No offense intended, but be cautious for whom and for what you assume liability and financial responsibility.

Good luck and God Bless. Sincerely, J. Norman Stark
