QUESTION
Can an Uber/Lyft (TNC) vehicle transport a minor?
Asked on Mar 13th, 2015 on Litigation - California
More details to this question:
Transportation Network Companies (TNC) like Uber and Lyft are becoming common in most major US cities. Besides adults, minors are using TNCs to get home from school, go to the mall, or for general transportation. Is this legal, illegal, and what are the consequences for the Adult TNC driver and/or parents?

This is definitely not a personal injury question. I'd view your question as one of Family Law from the standpoint of parents and Contract Law from the standpoint of the "technology companies" (as Uber deviously labels itself). Parents must act responsibly and the carriers had better work with parental consent and safeguard the safety of their minor passengers. I don't believe that there is any statutory preclusion.
