I'll try to keep a long story short...
I got my father to drive my car home from a wedding reception to save us the need to collect the car the next day etc. My father had a small accident on the way home, no one was injured or anything like that... thank god! It turned out then that my Father had no insurance thus wasn't covered to drive my car.
The people who collided with my father then initiated legal proceedings against him (not me... HIM) claiming for damages to their car. I was contacted by my insurer asking for me to sign a form to grant them the right to legally represent me but as it was my father who was being pursued for the money and not me i didnt sign or return the form.
A few months passed and i then got a letter from my insurer saying that they settled out of court and that i owe 3500 euro. Am i legally bound to pay this as I was not the person on the original court order?
