Injuries to Children
Generally, a child under the age of 18 cannot file a lawsuit without the help of a parent or legal guardian. Children and adolescents are at high risk for many injuries including those caused by:
Mistreatment in foster care
Abuse by caretakers
Cars and school bus accidents
Defective playground equipment
Fireworks
Traumatic brain injuries
Swimming-related accidents
In some instances these accidents can lead to death or severe disability. Personal injury lawsuits filed on behalf of children can therefore deal with the extraordinary costs that may be involved with the care of a severely injured child through their maturity and adult life.
Our firm understands that your immediate goals after going through such trauma are to receive the medical treatment the child needs, to get medical bills paid, to alleviate the financial losses caused by the injuries, and to make sure future medical treatment for the child will be paid.
Our experienced attorneys will discuss your child's situation and go over the options available to you, as well as work with insurance companies and other parties involved in your case to make sure all your child's legal needs are handled quickly and appropriately.
