Minors can be sued like everyone else. But there are procedural protections for them.
Re: Aggravated Battery minor against adult
Yes, you may file suit against the minor and depending on all of the circumstances others. You need to post more details.
Re: Aggravated Battery minor against adult
I think the better question is, even assuming you can file suit against the minor, how are you planning on collection any judgment against a person who probably does not have anything to his name? Judgment orders are nice, but if they are unenforceable, you may as well frame them and put them up on the wall. I hope this helps-
