Frank Penney Injury Lawyer in Roseville, CA, can help with your teen driving accident. Not surprisingly, teen car accident rates are higher than for any other age group. According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, teenage driver crash risk factors include:
Poor hazard detection.
Young drivers have not yet developed information-gathering and perceptual skills.
Low-risk perception.
Novice drivers tend to overestimate their ability to react to driving hazards.
Risk-taking.
Young drivers are overconfident in their abilities and engage more often in speeding, tailgating, running red lights, etc.
Seat belts.
Teenagers tend to skip the safety belt more often than older drivers.
Lack of skill.
Novice drivers have not mastered basic vehicle handling and safe driving skills.
Drugs or alcohol.
Teenage drunk drivers are more likely to cause a serious accident than experienced drivers with equal blood-alcohol levels.
Passengers.
Teenage drivers are easily distracted by passengers in the car–especially other teens.
Night driving.
The crash rate for teenage drivers is three times higher after 9:00 pm than during the day.
In addition, teenagers are used to frequently texting and using their cell phones. This type of distracted driving is easily one of the most dangerous situations on the road.
If you have been injured in a car accident caused by a teen driver, you may be worried that you will not be able to recoup your damages. Of course, a teenaged driver is required to carry car insurance just like any other driver, but what if their policy limit does not cover your medical and property damage expenses? If the driver was using a family car, there is potential for the parents to be liable under the
Family Purpose Doctrine. Likewise, vicarious liability may be established if the teen driver was using a borrowed car. A car owner has a responsibility to make sure the car is operated safely.
When to Contact a Teen Car Accident Lawyer
You should contact an experienced
personal injury lawyer in our office as soon as possible after the accident, preferably before you contact any insurance companies. We will give you a free and sympathetic case evaluation to help you determine the best course of action and make sure you get the most just results. We also have attorneys who are fluent in Spanish, and Frank Penney Injury Lawyers are available to meet in
Sacramento, Roseville, Oakland, or a Northern California city that is convenient for you.
For new license holders, during the first year, there are some important restrictions set in place for new drivers. There is a restriction of no driving between 11m and 5 am and no passengers younger than 20 can be in your vehicle. You can drive past 11 pm if you are with a California licensed driver who is over the age of 25. There are other exceptions, but it is important for your teen to know and understand these laws. They were put into place to keep new drivers safe and to avoid accidents. If your teen has been involved in an accident, and you are unsure of where to turn, give our team a call today. We can be reached in Northern California at 888-888-0566.
If you have been in a wreck with a teen driver, contract our personal injury lawyers at Frank Penney today. We can help guide you through the legal system and make sure you are fully represented. The number of teenage driver accidents has increased over the years due to cell phone use, excessive speeds, drinking and driving, and other distractions. If you were injured by a teen driving accident, the responsible party is still liable for your injuries and you will be compensated for your loss of wages, medical bills, and more. You may have sustained major injuries and are unable to work. You should not have to suffer and be without wages! Give our team a call today to discuss your case. We are available 24/7, so call us now.
Our legal team understands that life can be very stressful after an accident of any type. The financial costs of your accident can add to that stress.

That is why you do not have to worry about any upfront legal fees and expenses when you hire Frank Penney Injury Lawyers to handle your California personal injury case.

“This is a Rockstar Firm!”
Priscilla was awesome! My wife and I were in a major accident and were not at fault. We tried working with the insurance company of the driver at fault and they would not work with us. Priscilla was able to take the stress off of us and did everything she could to make it as easy as possible. This is a Rockstar firm and I would send anyone I know to them!

“James and Priscilla Fought Both Harder & Smarter on My Behalf”
After I was injured in a substantial rear-end collision, I knew I was going to need some serious help in the days ahead, so I contacted Frank Penney right away, which turned out to be a very smart move as I quickly learned that the opposition had next to no thoughts of offering me any reasonable compensation for my injuries, medical bills and lost earnings. The other insurance company fought hard to avoid accepting responsibility but James and Priscilla fought both harder and smarter on my behalf. I was shocked when my case ultimately went all the way to trial, but I was impressed watching James deliver a solid victory for my case, a victory that not only met but exceeded our last demand. I hope I am never hurt in another collision, but if I am, I’ll be returning to Frank Penney and his staff. Thanks to James and Priscilla for getting me a such positive outcome.

“Understanding and Helpful Throughout This Very Hard Time”
Frank D. Penney Law office was such a pleasure to work with. After interviewing several other law offices to handle our case we knew we would allow Frank D. Penney to take our case the moment he left the room. His office was able to make our four individual cases run smoothly together. They were so understanding and so helpful throughout this very hard time we’ve all had to live through. They were very professional yet personable from the secretary to the top from day one. Individually and as a group in regards to the office I think I speak for all four of us when I say how much of a blessing this office has been to us. I highly recommend this office for any personal injury cases, I know you will not be disappointed.

“They Were Very Up-Front and Honest with Me”
My experience with Frank Penney’s Law Firm has been wonderful. They were very up-front and honest with me and were able to seek the maximum reimbursement for my injuries. I hope I am in a position that I will ever need an attorney again, but if I am, I will come back!

“I Received the Maximum Policy Pay-outs”
In May 2014, I was rear ended on my way home from work. I knew early on that physically, there was something wrong. As the primary earner for my family, my greatest concern was ending up with substantial debt as a result of the cost of my need for ongoing medical care. Frank’s staff was very helpful in putting me at ease by ensuring that I always received regular updates on the status of my case. Then, in October 2015, I was rear ended on my way to work. A second rear ender? Really? I couldn’t believe it. It was unfathomable; I was absolutely frazzled and flabbergasted. But yet again, Frank and his staff were incredibly supportive in helping me navigate what was now an even more complex situation.
After two years and having to endure constant doctors appointments, constantly getting prescriptions and finally the process of having titanium rods hammered in to my hip/SI joint, Priscilla specifically, was incredibly effective at ensuring that I received the maximum policy pay outs that spanned across three different insurance companies. The payouts were sufficient to cover the medical costs and then some. Ultimately, these accidents have changed my life and have limited my physical abilities. The impact to me impacts my family but I cannot imagine having to manage this ridiculous situation without the support of Frank’s team (Priscilla, James, Elsa, Rachel and Yuri). If you need support and want to be treated like a person in the process, Frank Penney’s firm is the firm for you.

“Recommend Friends & Family to This Law Firm”
They were awesome. Very professional and would recommend friends and family to this law firm. I would definitely come back. My attorney was Priscilla and she was great! Answered all my calls and if I left her a voicemail she would call right back.

“The Best Decision I Ever Made”
Call Frank Penney Law and let go of your worry and frustration and secure needed funds for future possible medical care. We were rear ended and our SUV totaled. Our family had just moved to NC from CA. My daughter and I were together in the car and were injured from the accident. Our first priority was getting better and finding the proper medical care that would lead to a full recovery. I also had to deal with the auto and medical insurance companies and all the bills that start coming in the mail after receiving needed medical treatment. It was becoming overwhelming and then came all sorts of letters in the mail from lawyers that wanted our case. I didn’t feel comfortable with any of their attempts to get my business. But I needed help. I called Frank, since I had known him when we lived in CA, and when he explained how he and his staff could help me and basically take everything off my plate that was stressing me out and that our physical location across the country didn’t matter, I said “yes, please help us.” Frank talked with me as if he had all the time in the world and I felt completely comfortable turning everything over to him. The settlement was more than I could have received on my own and the fact that I could hand it all over to him to resolve was without a doubt worth it! It was the best decision I ever made throughout this process. We were supported by Frank’s knowledgeable staff. I can, without hesitation, recommend Penney law offices with the highest praise.
