After turning 18, can a Missouri child sue for an injury that happened years earlier?


Yes. The state of Missouri pauses the filing deadline for a lawsuit involving a minor, which does not begin tolling until that child turns 21. That means you have until your 26th birthday to file an injury lawsuit.

Even though you have time to seek legal action, it’s best to speak with a child injury attorney in Kansas City as soon as possible.
