What if the distracted driver was a teenager?

Georgia’s teen driving laws prohibit all cell phone use — hands-free or otherwise — for drivers under 18 (O.C.G.A. § 40-6-241.1). If a minor caused your accident while using a phone, their parents may also face liability under Georgia’s family purpose doctrine, which holds vehicle owners responsible for accidents caused by family members driving with permission.
