Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Wisconsin

If your name is not on the title or registration of your son's car and you did not sponsor your son's driver's license, you should not automatically be liable for accidental damages which he may incur while using his car. If you, in actuality, exercised total control over the car regardless of ownership and an injured party could prove this, you could potentially be included in an accident claim, but short of that, you should not be overly concerned. In any event, if you do receive a claim in this situation, your auto insurance should defend it.
