Was the child not yet born at the time of the misrepresentations, or also at the time of the lawsuit? If it's just the former, it's not much different from the fairly common type of lawsuit where children sue doctors for malpractice that occurred when the child was still a fetus in the womb (I'm assuming, of course, that the employer's misrepresentations related to matters material to the child's interests).
