Legal Answers
391 Questions Answered
Q. Can I be sued for my daughter's minor rear-end accident in Maryland with no police report?
A: Both you and your daughter can be sued. The lack of a police report does not preclude a lawsuit. However, you may have a defense to the lawsuit if your daughter was not your agent at the time of the accident. If you and/or your daughter are sued, turn the matter over to your insurance company and they will appoint an attorney to represent you.
Q. Would permissive use laws cover me in a borrowed car with a new insurance policy in Maryland?
A: If your parents get new insurance and include you as a listed driver, then you would be covered under the new policy. You are not covered under their current policy so you should not drive any of their vehicles until a change is made.

If your parents take out a new policy and do not list you as a driver, there could be problems if you live in the same household. They must list all licensed drivers living in the home.
Q. Is citation TA-21-405(e(21)) correct and how will it impact insurance?
A: This is a moving violation. I believe it is 1 point unless it was an accident in which case it is 3 points. You should request a trial and not a waiver hearing and go to court. If the officer does not appear, you will be acquitted. If the officer is present, you can decide whether to have a trial or plead guilty. The judge may not give you another PBJ.
