Parental Liability In Teen Driver Accidents
Drivers who are under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign a consent form that allows them to drive. Signing this form means that parents must assume liability for accidents caused by their teen drivers. Parental liability ends when the child turns 18 or if the parent withdraws consent. If parental consent is withdrawn, the teen would immediately lose all driving privileges.
