Impairment May Have Contributed to Injury Crash

An investigation is still underway by police. Authorities said that marijuana and alcohol appeared to be contributing factors in the Redding car crash. Those with information about the incident are urged to call the Redding Police Department. 

Accident Injuries Caused by a Minor

Under California Civil Code section 1714.1, parents or guardians can be held legally responsible for their minor children’s behavior if those actions harm another person, such as in the case of an injury accident. This statute means that if a child, for example, damages a neighbor’s property or causes injury in an accident, the parents or guardians can be deemed liable and may need to cover the costs of the damages or injuries caused by their child’s behavior. This legal accountability is termed parental negligence, a concept your lawyer can help further elucidate.
