Can you sue the parents of a careless child? Hi, I’m Frank Nunes. I’m a California personal injury trial attorney, practicing in the State of California. The answer to that question is generally no. Parents are not responsible for the misdoings or misgivings of their child. However, the exception to that rule applies when the parent knows of prior instances of the child’s bad conduct, and does nothing to stop that from happening again.
That isn’t always a bright-line rule, and every case can depend on its own facts. But generally, as a rule, the parents are not liable until there’s some prior history of bad acts by the child, and the parents aware of it, and done nothing to do anything about it.
Well, that’s it for today’s video on can you sue the parents of a negligent child. By the way, if you found this information helpful, subscribe to our YouTube channel. Why? So you can continue to get great new content every time we post another great educational video.

I have worked with a number of attorneys over my 73 years. When I found myself a victim of a rear end auto accident and with Insurance Companies giving me the good old run around treatment, I knew I needed help. Dreading to talk with one of the attorneys I used in the past because I deemed them as big a problem as I was encountering, I decided to look for a new face to represent me. I found Frank Nunes and his staff of professionals, from the moment I met and counseled with them they helped me get my life back on track both physically and legally. If I ever need a counselor for any legal matter in the future, I will be seeking the advice and counsel of Frank Nunes and his staff of professionals.
Thanks, Frank and all your staff, for all your help both personally and legally.
