Thirteen Year Old Child Cannot Be Held Contributory Negligent in Motor Vehicle Accident

In Alabama most children thirteen years and younger cannot be held liable for accidents they are involved in. Unfortunately, young children are often struck as pedestrians by motor vehicles. If you believe your child may be at fault for running out in front of a vehicle, you need to check the facts. The driver’s speed, weather conditions and other factors may determine the outcome of your case. A child may recover against another party if it can be shown that the other party is at least 1% at fault If your young child has been injured by another party it is important that you contact an attorney to review your individual case.
