My question involves a traffic accident in the State of: pa
Hello. I'm in PA. Someone drove my car before I transferred title and got into an accident. My car was not insured at time of accident. The driver who got in accident lied and gave someone else' name. Not their own. This happened more than 2 years ago. The insurance company has filed a lawsuit for property damages. To skirt responsibility, they named a random person who was not driving the car and was in another country at the time of the accident as the primary defendant. My husband is the secondary defendant. However he never held title to the car. It was my car. Arbitration is set for next year. We are retaining a lawyer but unsure how pa law works and why my husband was named. More than 2 yrs have passed so they can't file a new suit, but can they add my name or somehow argue that he owns the car b/c were married? What to do?
