The tolling for infancy does not apply to an action, itself premised on the death of a minor. Unless a case can be viably made that the parents were induced to not bring suit by the defendants, the answer to your question is most likely no.

I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
