Sutter Creek, CA Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

Regardless of who was driving the other vehicle, if you were injured or your car was damaged as a result of the other driver's negligence or wrongdoing, you may have a claim. I suggest you contact a car accident attorney for a free consultation of your rights.

Your exact question is whether or not you can be sued. Of course, you can be sued. Lawsuits are filed every day, but defendants win many of those lawsuits. So the real question is whether or not you are liable (legally responsible). If you used the credit card with your dad's consent and he was competent to give consent, then you did not defraud him. Note: If you kept charging on the credit card after your father became elderly and incompetent, some state's may consider that a form of undue influence or elder abuse. Whether or not you are liable to the credit card company for the account balance depends on what you signed, and may be impacted by the common law of your state. If you received the benefit of the credit card (i.e., ate the meals charged on the credit card, have the television bought with the credit card, etc.), then you might be liable to the credit card company for quantum meruit (an implied contract theory meaning "as much as deserved").
