My 17 yr old son with a valid drivers license was involved in a car accident in January of 2009. The car was under my name but we didnt have insurance at the time. His car slid and stoped a little over the stop line, he saw a truck coming and became very nervouse while trying to put it in reverse. The truck hit him on the front side totaling our car. Since we didnt have insurance the other partys insurance is charging my son almost $6000.00 dollars for damages to their truck. I was told by a friend that because he was a minor they cant charge him more than $2000.00 dollars. Is this true? Can they come after me, since the car was under my name and he was a minor? Can they make him pay the full amount since he is 18 already?
