==Adult suits for child circumcision==
An adult may sue for an injury incurred as a child after reaching the age of majority. Such suits are subject to statutes of limitation which prescribe strict time limits for instituting such suits. The prescription varies by jurisdiction.<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/medical-malpractice-statute-of-limitations.html |archived= |title=Medical Malpractice Statute of Limitations by State |trans-title= |language= |last=Wishnia |first=Jaclyn |author-link= |publisher=LegalMatch |website= |date=2020-10-05 |accessdate=2021-11-21 |format= |quote=}}</ref>
For example, [[William Stowell]] brought a suit against the doctor who performed his circumcision and the hospital where the circumcision occurred. The suit resulted in an out-of-court settlement.
