Being an adult, presuming he has not been declared incompetent, he would be able to sue on his own behalf and in his own name. If there existed a good reason why it is not convenient for him do to so, I suppose he could sign a limited power of attorney granting another party the right to act for him regarding such a suit.
I advise you to have your situation reviewed in detail by an experienced attorney. Best of luck to you.
