Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
teen drivers
if a teen is in a major accident with a restricted license and other minors are in the car before the 12 month period to drive other minors is up, can the penalties be worse if the teen driver is at fault or even if that teen is not at fault are there worse penalties for breaking the law?

Re: teen drivers
You are dealing with two different areas of the law: civil; and criminal.
If the teen is breaking a criminal statute, it depends on the way the words of the statute are interpreted by the judge.
As to a "major" accident, the question is who was at fault, and it may or not mean the teen is at fault.
You haven't left much to give anything more to you, since the facts you present are extreme broad and quite hazy.
If you want to resubmit, or e-mail my office, with more of a clear set of facts, it would be easier to help you.

This is a criminal law question, not a tort question. Repost in that panel.
