You should be able to sue at any age.

(just saying)

In the United States, and countries which use English Common Law as the basis for their Civil court system, you must be at least legal age to sue. In the U.S.A., that means 18 years of age to be named as either the plaintiff or defendant in a suit, or you must be an emancipated minor (i.e. a court-declared "adult" under 18). You must also be "competent", which means you cannot currently be a ward of the state or declared mentally incapable.

The legal guardian for a minor or incompetent adult may, however, sue (or be sued) on behave of the person they are guardian for.
