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. 

If you have been accused of wrongful entrustment of motor vehicle, please call Funkhouser Law for a free consultation with an experienced, peer-rated lawyer.
