Common Ways Children Are Injured

Depending on the circumstances, many adults may be responsible for protecting your child from harm. When they do not, and your child sustains an injury, we will build a case to prove the at-fault other party’s legal liability. This involves showing:
  • The duty of care they owed, such as driving slowly and watching out for children at play in a residential area
  • Their violation of that duty, such as speeding through your neighborhood in Hicksville
  • The connection between their actions and your child’s injuries, e.g., causing a pedestrian accident with your child due to their speeding
  • Your child’s injuries and other damages, such as medical expenses and pain and suffering
We represent the parents of children injured in: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) research points to the types of accidents that most commonly result in childhood fatalities. If your child was seriously or fatally injured in an accident, you have our deepest and most heartfelt condolences. We are honored to fight for the justice your departed loved one deserves and the full financial recovery for your family is entitled to. .

Damages You Could Recover For Your Child’s Injury

When we assign a value to your child’s injuries, we start by talking to you and your child to understand the extent of their suffering. We will ask questions about their life, education, and activities prior to their injury so we understand how the accident has affected them. Then, we request compensation for the following types of damages:
  • Medical expenses
  • Emotional trauma
  • Mental distress
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Lasting physical disability
  • Diminished quality of life 
  • Physical disfigurement
  • Pain and suffering 
A child who suffers an injury that changes their physical appearance and ability might require long-term and costly care—possibly for their lifetime. Your family should not be left with the costs of treating your child’s injuries and other damages you incur.  Instead, we fight to have the liable party bear that responsibility by carefully calculating your damages and negotiating for a favorable settlement. Alternatively, we will take them to court if the case calls for it.

Start Fighting For Your Child Immediately

When you choose our law firm, a lawyer from our team will prepare your accident case and fight for your family’s financial recovery.

When we review your case, our team will clarify the filing deadline to protect your right to sue.  You concentrate on your child and their recovery—our team will build a compelling case and prepare it for the negotiation process or, indicated,  for trial before a judge and jury in court.
