In Georgia, the spouse as well as the injured party has a claim. How that works in your individual case can be sorted out by a personal injury attorney.

What happens if your attorney sign for your court date documentation then has misplaced it causing you to miss a court appearance?

Personal Injury lawyer at Blaske and Blaske PLC
Your brother may have a legal malpractice case against his attorney, assuming the reason your brother missed the court appearance was because of his lawyer's failure to notify him of the court appearance and that your brother is in jail because of his failure to attend the hearing. I regularly handle legal malpractice cases and am willing to talk to you or your brother if you'd like, but I'll count on you or him to make that contact. Note that the statute of limitations on your brother's claim against his attorney expires two years from the date the lawyer discontinues serving your client as to the matters out of which the malpractice arose or six months from the date your brother discovered or should have discovered the possibility of a claim. You don't say when this happened or when the lawyer discontinued serving your brother, so I'll count on you to pass this information on to your brother and to urge him to act immediately to contact an attorney if he wants to pursue the matter further.

Am I responsible for any accidents?

David B. Rechtman
Answered by attorney David B. Rechtman (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Rechtman & Spevak
Generally, no. The exception in Georgia is (1) when the individual you loaned your car to is doing something on your behalf (i.e. is acting as your agent); or (2) it was negligent for you to loan your car out to that person (e.g., the person you loaned your car out to was unlicensed or drunk.) Otherwise, if you gave that person permission to drive your vehicle, your insurance should cover it.
