I own a car and my sister, who lives with me, drives this car and is on my insurance (as a driver). She is the primary driver of this car. Am I liable, and can I get sued, if she gets into an accident (since my name is on the title)?

This may vary from state to state. In general, though, the owner of the vehicle can be held liable for the actions of those who drive it. There is a chance you can get sued. You may want to contact your state's Department of Insurance to find out the rules for your state.
