Wrongful Entrustment of Motor Vehicle
ORC § 4511.203
Defined
- Knowingly
- Allowing another person to drive your car,
- who doesn’t have a driver’s license, or
- who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
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.
At Funkhouser Law, from the moment a client walks through the door, we presume that they are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. As such, we work hard to accomplish the most favorable outcome for each of our clients.
