Can a 16 year old sue parents for negligence?

Yes, a 16-year-old can sue their parents for negligence, but the process can be complicated. Generally, minors may need a guardian ad litem or an attorney to represent them in court since they cannot sue on their own. Laws vary by state, so the specific circumstances and legal framework will significantly impact the case's viability. However, such lawsuits are often discouraged and may lead to strained family relationships.
