My question involves an auto accident that occurred in the state of California. I was driving my dads car which is registered and insured in his name. My DL was, and still is, suspended due to a DUI in 2011.
On 9-28-16, I was involved in a minor accident with one other car. I had one passenger and the other driver also had one passenger. Nobody was injured. CHP came to the scene and made a report in which i admitted i was at fault and that my DL was suspended. Since there were no injuries and very little damage to either car the officer said were all free to go but he didnt allow me to drive away. My dad had to come get his car. The other drivers car was brand new and still had dealer plates and I believe it may even have had dealer papers in the window. So that little bit of damage came out to $4800.
That day I contacted my dads insurance company and within a week I was contacted by the other partys insurance company. I gave a statement and interview to both insurance companies and gave consent to allow everything to be recorded. In my statements to both insurance company I admitted I was at fault and that my DL was suspended and I was aware I was not on the insurance policy.
Im assuming since the other car was brand new the driver mustve had full coverage because it appears their insurance company took care of them and are now seeking reimbursement for the $4800 which i completely understand. Now this is my question....
If I am currently unable to pay this $4800, do they have any legal ground to go after my dad for money? Even though i am admitting guilt.
