answer:Welcome to Fluther. I wouldn’t say “you can’t do that”, but I also wouldn’t say “you can certainly do that.” I expect that you can find a lawyer who would take the case on a contingency basis (if he or she is hungry enough and has the time available), and who would bring the suit. But it’s not clear that you would have much chance of winning after all this time. Most such cases have a statute of limitations as to how long you have to bring the suit after the event… or after your knowledge of the event. That’s the key that might make you successful. As a ten-year-old, you would not be presumed to have “knowledge of the event” since at that age you were not considered competent to have such knowledge. Talk to an attorney.
