I'm sorry to hear about your acicdent. You are correct. You can file suit against the 17yr old driver for negligence; you can also file suit against the parents for negligent entrustment. I currently have a pending lawsuit where I did just that. I would be glad to speak with you about this. My number is 512-472-8318.

Yes, you can sue both parties. Don't do it yourself.
