Filing a Claim on Behalf of a Child? Ask Personal injury lawyer NYC
A child who is under the age of 18 generally cannot file legal action on their own behalf.  As the child’s parent or legal guardian, it is your obligation to help the child seek legal representation and file a lawsuit on their behalf to obtain compensation for:
Past and future medical expenses for the treatment of injuries Loss of future income and future earning capacity Funeral expenses Pain and suffering Emotional distress
If your case is successful and you help your child secure compensation, the state law will most likely require you to place that sum of money into some type of blocked account, which cannot be touched until the child turns a certain age. Your attorney can provide you with more details depending on your specific situation and the laws of the jurisdiction where you are filing suit.
