As an experienced Buffalo Personal Injury Attorney, folks often come into the office and their child has been hurt in an automobile accident and they want to know who can make a claim on behalf of their child. What I tell them is if their child is over the age of 18, then the child can bring the claim in their own name. However, if their child is under 18, then it’s up to them as the parent, generally the mom or dad, to be able to make a claim on their behalf. One of the things that they have to do is they really have to make sure that, because the child really can’t act for himself or herself, that they do everything possible to make sure that their child’s claim is protected.
