Potential Penalties
Wrongful entrustment of motor vehicle is typically an unclassified misdemeanor which can be penalized by a suspension of driver’s license, fine or other such sanction that the court finds necessary to ensure that the violation does not happen again. It is a good idea to have a lawyer experienced in violations of this type to endure the lowest possible penalties.
