The Liability Risks of a Social Teenager

You likely recognize the importance of giving your teenager their space and independence. However, you remain ultimately responsible for your child, their behavior and their welfare. A growing child means exposure to new liabilities.Teens hanging out

Your child’s expanding horizons means they will have contact with a lot of people and places. They might bring friends into your home to socialize. Or, they might visit other locations for fun. As a result, your child faces risks, and poses risks to others.

Understanding Your Child’s Liability Risks

Most well-behaved teenagers don’t set out to cause trouble when socializing. However, the unfortunate truth is that accidents sometimes happen. Homeowner’s liability insurance might protect your child from the damage they cause.

For example, one of your child’s friends might fall down your stairs, sustaining injuries. The visitor’s family might sue for their medical costs. Or, perhaps when visiting a friend, your child breaks one of the other family’s sliding glass doors. You might feel an obligation to compensate the other family for the damage.

In these circumstances, your own homeowner’s liability insurance might be of assistance. It could help you cover legal costs associated with a bodily injury lawsuit. Or, it might help you repay an affected party for property damage your child might cause. In these unfortunate scenarios, your homeowner’s liability insurance might prove valuable.

Reducing Liability Risks for Your Teenager

No teenager, and no parent, wants to cause harm to anyone else. Parents should talk to their child about their responsibilities to keep others safe, both at home and elsewhere.

  • Set expectations for your child’s behavior before socializing. You should tell a child what is and is not allowed in your home.
  • Know your child’s guests. You can create a friendly environment as well as a better degree of safety.
  • When your child has guests over, respect their privacy as best you can. However, you should always keep an eye on your teenager and their friends. It’s often best not to leave young teenagers home alone for long periods. Older teens might eventually earn a higher degree of independence.
  • Enforce the rules you’ve set. If any misbehavior occurs, stop and rectify the problem quickly.
  • Tell your teen the behavior you expect of them outside the home. Remind them to follow the rules of another household in addition to your own rules.

Should a problem arise during your teen’s socializing, immediately take action. After the situation has stabilized, contact your insurance provider to see if you have assistance under your homeowner’s policy.
