CAN YOU SUE A MINOR UNDER 18 IN CALIFORNIA?
You probably think that there is no way you can
sue a minor if you have been injured as a result
of his or her negligent act or omission to act,
but this is not entirely true, says Los Angeles
personal injury attorney at the Compass Law
Group, PC. If you have been injured by a minor,
it depends on the circumstances of your
particular case to determine who can be held
liable for the minors actions. Under California
law, people under 18 can be held responsible for
their own actions that cause injury to others
only in a limited number of situations. Generally
, in these situations, you cannot file a personal
injury claim against the minor. Rather than
bringing a claim against the minor, California
law allows injured victims to sue the minors
parents or guardians.

SITUATIONS IN WHICH THE MINORS PARENTS
OR GUARDIANS CAN BE HELD LIABLE
The parents or guardians of a minor who caused
your injury can be sued in California if the
minor intentionally assaulted or battered you.
Those with custody and control of the minor can
be held accountable for the young individuals
actions. Similarly, parents or guardians of
minors who permit them to carry a firearm or fail
to prevent a firearm from getting into the hands
of a minor can be held liable for any injuries
and property damages resulting from the minors
use of the weapon.

One of the most common scenarios in which you can
be hurt by a minor in California is a car
accident in Los Angeles or elsewhere in the
state. A Los Angeles personal injury attorney
explains that in the event of a car accident
involving an at-fault minor, the minors parents
or guardians who signed the childs application
for a drivers license can also be held
accountable for your injuries and damages. Even
if you have not been injured by a minor but your
property has been damaged as a result of a
minors negligent, wrongful, or willful actions,
you may be entitled to recover damages, too. How
much your case against a minor can be worth
depends on a variety of factors in your case.
