Under California Law, a minor under the age of 18 cannot file their own lawsuit. A parent or Guardian can be appointed to file the claim on behalf of the minor. This is very common in a minor’s dog bite case. There are requirements to follow in bringing a dog bite claim on behalf of a minor child. One of the requirements is to have a judge approve the settlement of the claim. A parent or guardian cannot agree to a settlement with an insurance company without getting the permission from a judge to settle the claim. An experienced dog bite attorney will know the requirements for court approval.

The judge will want to ensure the settlement is fair and in the child’s best interest. A parent or guardian cannot even sign the Release of All Claims for the settlement without getting approval from the court first.
