Best Answer

The short answer is no - the long answer is yes, depending on the circumstances. If you sustained injuries, you can sue for punitive damages regardless of the child's age. Parents of the child cannot necessarily sue the parents unless they were negligent in the care or restraint of the child. For example, you cannot sue the parents of the child if they weren't present, however, you can sue the parents if they were present and did nothing to restrain the child from assaulting you.

Can children sue their parents if they are deceased?

Yes they can, indirectly, such as in a case of wrongful death where the deceased parents killed others by the same actions which resulted in their own deaths. In other words, the accident or incident that killed the parents also killed a child or other person, and there is reason to think that the parents committed an act of negligence that resulted in the death of others. However, you would not be suing the parents, but making a claim against their insurance. But if the insurance refuses to pay, then you would sue the insurance company. Anyway, the children would not be suing the parents, but their parents' insurance or their parents' estate.
