What if debris or an animal caused my crash on FM 1488?

What if a teen driver hit me near a high school in The Woodlands?
The teen driver is responsible for the crash, and the claim usually goes against the auto policy that covers them, often their parents’ policy. Parents are not automatically liable for a child’s driving, but they can be if they let an unsafe or unlicensed driver use the car. School zone speed limits are part of the evidence.
