Legal Answers
- Q. Arrested for DUI in Maryland after refusing sobriety tests. What are my options?
- A: You need to retain counsel to represent you. You face a lengthy suspension of your license if you blew .08 or above or refused the test unless you file for a MVA hearing within a very short timeframe or elect the interlock for one year. An attorney can advise you of your chances of success at the MVA hearing after finding out all of the facts.
You also must go to court on the DUI charges. You should begin an alcohol treatment program right away and discuss with an attorney possible defenses in your case.
- Q. Can I be sued for my daughter's minor rear-end accident in Maryland with no police report?
- A: Both you and your daughter can be sued. The lack of a police report does not preclude a lawsuit. However, you may have a defense to the lawsuit if your daughter was not your agent at the time of the accident. If you and/or your daughter are sued, turn the matter over to your insurance company and they will appoint an attorney to represent you.
- Q. Would permissive use laws cover me in a borrowed car with a new insurance policy in Maryland?
- A: If your parents get new insurance and include you as a listed driver, then you would be covered under the new policy. You are not covered under their current policy so you should not drive any of their vehicles until a change is made.
If your parents take out a new policy and do not list you as a driver, there could be problems if you live in the same household. They must list all licensed drivers living in the home.
