Understanding Civil Liability of Minors and Individuals of Unsound Mind
Hello, I’m Oklahoma City attorney Dillan Savage with Wirth Law Office, and I practice primarily in the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma area.
Today, we’re going to discuss whether a minor or a person of unsound mind can be held civilly liable for wrongs they have committed.
The Legal Accountability of Minors and Individuals of Unsound Mind
In the state of Oklahoma, yes, minors and individuals of unsound mind can be held civilly liable for their actions, just as an adult of sound mind would be.
In many such cases, a civil suit is not only brought against the child or the individual of unsound mind, but also against their parent or legal guardian. This is done in an effort to hold the responsible party accountable and ensure compensation for any harm or damage caused.
