Yes it is too late to sue. A minor in NY has 10 years from the date of the negligent act or omission to sue a medical provider.

Yes I am affraid that the statute of limitations in New York for a medical malpractice claim has expired in this instance. New York law provides that an infant has no more than 10 years from the date of the incident to file a summons and complaint.
