Hello. In Illinois a cause of action that a child has as a result of a tort during childhood can be brought through the age of 18. In other words, when one reaches the age of 19, the lawsuit is generally barred by the statute of limitations in Illinois. However, it may be worth discussing the
matter with an attorney anyway. I suggests that you do.
