Question: 

My son just got in accident, he doesn’t have his license and the other driver is claiming there were injuries.  My husband started getting letters from lawyers because the car is insured in his name, what should we do now?

Answer:

As an experienced Delaware County Personal Injury Attorney, I often speak to clients in regards to this matter. You should contact your husband’s insurance carrier and tender notice of the potential claim. If the insurance carrier accepts responsibility, they will take care of the legal issues. However, since your son does not have a driver’s license, it is possible the insurance company will attempt to deny coverage for the accident and any resulting injuries. If this is indeed the case, you should contact a private attorney.
