Suits may be filed by parents or other guardians on behalf of an injured boy or, in the alternative, the injured boy may initiate litigation after he reaches majority status at age 18. All states have a prescribed time limit in which suits must be filed. That prescription varies from one to three years depending on the state, so the plaintiff must file his suit promptly after reaching age 18. | Suits may be filed by parents or other guardians on behalf of an injured boy or, in the alternative, the injured boy may initiate litigation after he reaches majority status at age 18.
