Car accidents involving minor children are sometimes tolled until the victim can pursue legal action as an adult. One example is a teen driver who was 17 years old at the time of the collision. The deadline for a personal injury lawsuit might be tolled until they reach 18 and can file a lawsuit. In some states, parents can file a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of their minor children, so check if this is an option before waiting to file. Don’t assume a case is tolled just because the victim was a minor.
