Was the minor driving the vehicle? How did he/she get a hold of the vehicle's keys?
If this is the case, yes, you can, it is called "contributory negligence".
In all actuality, you can sue anybody in the US.
However, in your case, you sue the minor, but the minor's parents/insurance co will be held accountable for all damages.

When a car is borrowed (with permission) the insurance of the car owner is primary and the insurance of the driver is secondary. Here, the car owner has no coverage to pay for the damage to his/her own car, so the driver's liability insurance would cover the cost of the car.
