... but would they then go after your son?


It seems that this newsgroup is filled with rumors of subrogation, yet no
one in the four years I have been here has anyone ever provided a first- or
secondhand account of this actually happening. It is always, "a cousin of
a friend of my brother's was once sued by the insurance company for damage
to an aircraft that happened when he was a pilot." An aviation urban
legend, as it were.

With that in mind and having secondhand knowledge of individuals who
damaged aircraft but were never sued, I would answer no to your question.

Furthermore, the reason I posted my insurance broker's answer was in
response to selwaykid's claim that the insurance company would not cover
the damages in this specific accident.
