QuestionInsurance Question  I am a 21-year-old college student that lives at school. I still use my parents address as my permanent address and thus am a member of their household. Currently, I'm on their insurance policy, but I am considering getting my own policy. Since I'm a member of their household, would my parents assets be at risk - if I got into an accident (even if I had my own policy)?

AnswerAuto Insurance Answer

We live in a society where anybody can be sued for anything.

In general, though, if they do not claim you on their taxes and the vehicle you insure is not theirs, their assets should be safe. You are no longer a minor. And, since you are no longer a minor, and it is your vehicle, it is up to you to properly insure the vehicle (not your parents). Just living in your parents household should not make them accountable for your actions. (Unless they still claim you as a dependant on their taxes.) Follow this link for further advice on how to protect assets with insurance coverage.
