*This document is provided for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Nearly every US state requires COURT approval before a minor's personal injury settlement is final and binding — a parent cannot simply sign away a child's claim on their own, and the court will typically also require the funds be protected (often in a blocked account) until the child reaches adulthood.*
