[Motorcycle Crash] Cassandra, Who Would Be Turning 18 in Two

question 21

Multiple Choice

[Motorcycle crash] Cassandra, who would be turning 18 in two weeks, wanted to purchase a motorcycle at Hal's Cycles. Hal explained she could pay monthly installments through a financing agreement, and that he needed an ID to verify she was at least 18 years old. Cassandra, who strongly resembled her older sister Alana, handed Alana's drivers' license to Hal, but Hal did not notice the license had the wrong name. The next day, when cruising in her new motorcycle, Cassandra crashed into Jonah, who was injured in the collision. The next month, Cassandra received a bill for the first installment of the motorcycle. Her parents also received a notice that they were being sued by Jonah because of Cassandra's collision. Realizing her parents would be upset that she purchased a motorcycle, Cassandra went to Hal to return the broken motorcycle and tell him she was a minor and she's not responsible for any payments under the financing agreement.
-Are Cassandra's parents liable for Jonah's injuries from the motorcycle crash?

• A) Yes, because parents are usually liable for a minor's personal torts.
• B) No, but only because they were not aware of any misappropriation.
• C) No, because in most states, minors, not their parents, are liable for a minor's personal torts.
• D) No, even if there is evidence that her parents failed to properly supervise Cassandra, parents cannot be held liable for a minor's personal torts.
• E) Yes, because all states recognize parental liability, regardless of proper supervision.
