If you are the co-owner of a car in the state of Florida and that car is involved in an accident can you be sued?

Yes. The co-owner on the title is just as liable as a single owner would be. * No, the co-owner could not be directly sued for an incident of which he or she had no control over. The exception would be if the driver was a minor then his or her parents could be held liable. And obviously if it pertains to a married couple then both would be affected, to what extent depends upon the laws of the state where the accident occurred. * If your name is on the title, you are responsible for the vehicle and can be sued for damages no matter who is driving it. Actually, you CAN be sued if you have any relationship to the title, loan, or driver if you are the "deep pocket". The closer that relationship is, the more likely the suit will be successful.
