Is it legal to sue a 14 year old kid?
Yes, it is possible to sue a minor in civil court, but the process can be more complex than suing an adult. The minor may require a legal guardian or parent to represent them in court.
Can you sue a person below 18 years of age for his negligence?
You can sue the parents (or if you are minor your parents could sue the minor's parents.) However, depending on the circumstances and if there is absolute proof it will be up to the courts as to whether the person suing will win and get a settlement.
Does a sixteen year old have to have permission to be emancipated?
You have to sue your parents in court to gain emancipation.
Can parents be sued for liability of a 16 year old driver on their insurance in the event of an accident?
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.
Can you sue a 12 year old for bullying your 12 year old?
You can sue the bullies parents, not the child. If the damage to you 12 yr old is significant you can press criminal charges, but if you are looking for compensation, then civil court would be the place for you to go.
Can you sue the parents of an 8 year child that hit your 8 year old child?
You can sue for almost anything. However to do so in such a case would be far more infantile than the incident that caused it.
Can you sue for medical negligence if the condition is not life threating?
Yes.
Can you sue a hospital for emotional mental abuse and negligence?
yes
Can you sue a mental hospital for destroying your father?
Only if it was due to their negligence. If it can be proven that they were looking after his best interests (i.e. no negligence was involved), then no. And it would probably have to be a specific doctor that you sue, not the hospital.
Is legal for a 15 year old girl to sneak a 16 year old guy in her window?
I think so. Both are minors so there isn't an age problem. The only people you would probably have to deal with would be your parents and the 16-year-old's parents. His parents could sue you if he was forced through your window reluctantly. I would avoid doing so for your own sake, but yes, it's most likely legal. (Avoid breaking any of his bones. Your parents will have to pay a hospital bill if anything. His parents might sue you for that.)
Can you sue someone under 16?
Yes, it is possible to sue someone under 16, but the process may be more complicated as minors are considered legally incompetent and their parents or legal guardians may need to be involved in the proceedings. The court may also appoint a guardian ad litem to represent the minor's interests.
Can the parents of a 20 year old sue you for alienation of the affection of their child?
Laws regarding alienation of affection vary by state, but typically they apply to spouses in a marriage. Parents of a 20-year-old would likely not have grounds to sue for alienation of affection concerning their child, as it typically applies to marital relationships.
