Many children are put into contact with adults that neither they nor their parents know. An employer or an organization may have access to information and resources to investigate backgrounds that are underutilized. They have a responsibility to make sure their charges are not a threat to children.
Jacob is 3-years old and spends 3 days a week in daycare. Daycare R Us, a prominent, nationally recognized facility, hired Beth two years ago. Beth seemed such a fine and personable individual that Daycare R Us did not speak to her former employers, search criminal records or obtain any of her former employment records. If they had done so, they would have found that two of the three facilities had noted in her file that she was fired after allegations of sexual abuse.
Two, your claim could bring you the monetary compensation you need to overcome your accident, injuries, and losses. Your accident could have caused you extensive physical injuries that required expensive medical treatment. Your accident and injuries could have caused you to miss out on work wages. You could even be dealing with permanent injury and mental trauma associated with your accident.
You should receive financial compensation to make things right. Some damages you could be paid for include the following:. Whether your accident was caused by a minor or an adult, you may be able to sue for damages. In California, minors can be held accountable for injuries they cause to others under certain circumstances. In these situations, rather than suing the minor, the law allows for victims to file lawsuits against the parents or guardians of the minor.
California law allows for lawsuits to be filed against parents or guardians with custody and control of minors for willful misconduct of a minor. For example: if a minor willfully assaults or batters you, and causes you physical harm, you can sue their parents or guardian for medical, dental and hospital costs. Parents or guardians of minors who permit them to have a firearm, or made a firearm accessible to the minor, can be liable for any injuries to persons or properties caused by the minor with that firearm as a result.
If a minor steals from you, and you are a merchant, school, or library, California law places imputed liability upon their parents or legal guardian. Parents are generally not vicariously liable for the random intentional actions of their children.
The little old lady can potentially get a judgment for criminal restitution against the parents. If Chase is criminally prosecuted as a juvenile for the assault on the old lady, Maryland law allows a judgment of restitution to be entered against Chase AND his parents for direct expenses resulting from the assault. See Md. Code Ann. Under Maryland law, in a suit against minor, the guardian will defend the action.
The court will order the guardian who fails to comply with this section to defend the minor. If there is no such guardian or other fiduciary, the court will appoint an attorney to represent and defend the individual.
The reverse problem is when a minor wants to bring a claim. A minor lacks the capacity to sue or be sued. So what happens? I fought the motion because… well that is what defense lawyers do.
