Victim Majority Rule for Tort Statute of Limitations Against Minors

A claim for damages arising from a tort committed by a person still subject to his parents' authority was dismissed because the relevant statute of limitations, which commenced upon the victim's attainment of the age of majority, had already expired at the time the action was initiated. The court reasoned that the law governing the commencement of the prescriptive period for tort claims against minors places the running of the time limit on the victim's majority, regardless of whether the parents could have been sued directly, as the victim was legally represented and capable of initiating proceedings through that representation.
