Is a parent liable if her child takes the car without permission and causes a distracted driving accident?

A parent can be liable if a child takes a car without permission and causes a distracted driving crash. The parent is held responsible for taking adequate steps to prevent the child from gaining access to the car keys. Failing to take adequate steps means that the parent could be sued by someone that is hurt as a result of the child’s distracted driving. To pursue a case like this you should consult with a personal injury lawyer that has worked on distracted driving cases. The initial consultation should be free.
