It depends on the jurisdiction of the court where the lawsuit if filed. Most small claims courts have limited jurisdiction for monetary relief. You should contact a plaintiff's personal injury lawyer for specific legal assistance. Where minors cause injuries to others, lawsuits are brought against their parents or guardians.

Not true. That is only the limit for Parental Responsibility Statute.
