Man gets sued for taking his vehicle for an oil change

So it appears that under Michigan law, if you let someone else drive your car (even if its a valet or person at a dealership), you're responsible for that person's negligence.

Well holy hell what a stupid-arse law that is. Are MI insurance premiums abnormally high? That's asinine that they didn't carve out an exception for when the person that assumes control of the car is a car-related business, e.g. a service location or a valet.

Yeah which now involves 4 different legal defenses all pointing fingers at one another.
I can't believe it either that not one lawmaker thought to say "hold up a second..."

The whole purpose of Garage Liability is for the garage to protect itself from BI or PD losses when utilizing customer vehicle.
Yet according to this law, the dang garage doesn't need ...only garagekeepers. I'm still trying to wrap brain around how it all works. Lol
