Unlicensed minor hit my car are parents held accountable?

Question

I got hit by a motorcycle the police said I was not at fault. Come to find out the person who hit me was 15. She is a kid, no license and not even legal enough to drive let alone anything else. Can anyone tell me what happens to her. She's ok thank god but curious now…what happens to a kid other then their license being kept from them longer in the state of Massachusetts. Are the parents held responsible for allowing her to drive it? I have insurance (full coverage) I am not worried but I would KILL My kid if that happened plus I feel the parents should be responsible since she is THEIR responsibility.

Answer 1

The parents are responsible.

Answer 2

The parents should be responsible but in these days of lunatic PC idiots that run the country.Kids have rights.

Answer 3

Isn't Massachussetts a no-fault insurance state ?

If so, then your insurance will pay damages.  How would you like the parents held responsible ?  Maybe they were unaware she was driving .

Answer 4

She'll probably be held off from getting her license until she is older than 16, and I think her parents are 100% responsible.

Answer 5

Because of her age, she is old enough to know right from wrong, you could not make a case against the parents.  Use your own insurance and tell the kid you want her to reimburse you for your deductible.  Tell the parents the same thing.
