The Stuart v. Nappi case, decided by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in 2000, addressed the issue of whether a minor can be held liable for negligence in a personal injury lawsuit. The court ultimately ruled that minors could indeed be held accountable for their negligent actions, balancing the need for accountability with the understanding of a minor's capacity to understand their actions. This case set a precedent in Pennsylvania regarding the liability of minors in tort actions.
