Juvenile Steals Car and Runs into Residence, No Liability For Damages

September 13, 2013 By Paul Wallin

My son was 17 years old when he admitted to stealing a car and then ran into a house and caused a great deal of damage. He had been living with his mother but the family court file reflected that I had sole physical custody. I had no reason to believe that my son was up to any criminal activity until it was too late. After he admitted in court to the incident, the court wanted to make me liable for over $14,000 worth of damages that my son caused when I didn’t do anything wrong. They said that I am responsible for my son’s actions since he was under 18 years of age. I did not think this was fair so I hired the law offices of Wallin & Klarich. They worked hard on my case and WON! I was found not liable for the damages. By hiring Wallin & Klarich, I saved my self over $13,000.
