Auto Liability Possible if Keys are Left in Car

A Court of Appeals in Tennessee has made an interesting ruling in a case where a stolen car was involved in a car accident. The plaintiffs were injured in a car accident in which their car collided with a car that had been stolen from Joseph Ash, and the main issue was whether Ash could be held liable for the accident since he left his keys in the car. This case is Newman v. Jarrell, 2010 WL 4968079 (Tenn.Ct.App.).
