Will you be liable if your 17-year-old son is at fault in an accident?

It depends on the jurisdiction. In most jurisdictions, if your 17-year-old son is at fault in an accident, you may be held liable for damages caused by the accident. This is because, in most jurisdictions, parents are generally responsible for the torts of their minor children. However, some jurisdictions may have exceptions to this rule. For example, some jurisdictions may have laws that limit a parent's liability for damages caused by their minor children to a certain amount. It is important to consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction to determine whether you may be liable for damages caused by your 17-year-old son's car accident.
