School Bullying
The Pedigo Law Corporation | FIGHTING FOR THE AVERAGE JOE®

In general, parents are not vicariously liable for their child’s wrongful acts. However, a parent may be liable for the acts of their child if the parent’s negligence makes it possible for the child to cause the injury and if the injury is likely to occur. To be liable, the parents or guardian must have physical custody of the child, and they must also be able to control the child.

California Civil Code 1714.1 makes parents and guardians with custody and control of their minor child jointly and severally liable for the child’s willful misconduct, not to exceed $25,000.

A related action may also be brought against a school or teacher for negligent supervision of a child.

Client Testimonial

I retained Mr. Pedigo because of damage to personal property held at my storage unit. My own insurance company denied me a large some of money for the coverage I had paid for.

I attempted to do this on my own, but to no avail, I was unable to get any cooperation from the insurance company. After getting a runaround for six months I hired Mr. Pedigo and he wrote two letters to the insurance company and within days the case was settled out of court and for the full amount due me.

Over the time I have known him, he has consistently demonstrated a high level of integrity, accountability and caring. He was always there to help and support me in any way possible.

I value Mr. Pedigo as very special attorney. I confidently provide this reference for his attorney/client skills and caring for people. — D.M.
